Every summer, for the past five years, Northwest University classmates from the 60's have come together for a delightful weekend of refreshment in the beautiful, private campground where they enjoy a relaxing weekend of reconnecting with old friends. It's a time for sharing music, laughter, and spiritual encouragement.   

FORMAT:
The activities of the weekend will begin about 6:00 Friday evening with a barbecue and fellowship around the campfire.  This is a great time for connecting one-on-one (no program). 

Saturday morning our host and fellow alums put on a hearty campfire breakfast. Saturday noon is the big potluck picnic when everyone brings their favorite dishes to share.  Following the Picnic we have an afternoon of fellowship, entertainment, and praise, with many musical specials including solos, duets, trios, and more from your old classmates. Already indicating plans to participate this year are, Gary Liden, Dale & Rita Lidstrom, and The Ambassador's Trio (1967) - Elvin Huston, Ray Sparre, and Jerry Snyder. Saturday evening, after a lite dinner, we have another informal time of sharing around the campfire.

Sunday morning a continental breakfast will be available followed by a worship and communion service at 10:00 A.M.  Dale & Rita (Parker) Lidstrom will be ministering in that final service.

FACILITIES: 
The campground will be available to us from Friday through Sunday at no charge. Camper's and RVs are welcome. The campground is somewhat primitive and does not have RV hookups, however your self contained units will be just fine.  There is a central bathhouse with two toilets and one shower.  For those wishing to secure a motel, we recommend Three Rivers Inn & Restaurant.  210 Ball Street, Sedro Woolley, WA 98284.  Telephone: 360-855-2626 Reservations: 800-221-5122 This motel has been remodeled recently, and has been very satisfactory to many of our Reunion guests.  The average cost for a  room for 2 at Three Rivers $100.00 a night.  This motel is only 3 or 4 miles from Vandenburg Campground.  If you wish, there are a number of other motels available in the Burlington-Mount Vernon area along I-5. None of these should be more than 15 miles from the campground.  You can search those out online.

FINANCES:
From the outset we have sought to facilitate an event with low overhead and no charges to attend.  The Vandenburgs have donated the use of the campground. We structure the Saturday picnic as a potluck with people bringing hot dishes, salads finger foods and desserts.  There is enough food to cover both lunch and dinner on Saturday.  The remaining expenses have always been covered by the free will contributions that are given at the event.  Understanding this, we hope that anyone who can afford the gas and lodging expenses will feel free to come be a part of this delightful experience.
