October 13-16, 2011  Sanborn Alum Reunion

Save the dates and pack your bags!  After missing our Fall Alum Reunion in 2010, we are happy to announce that we will not go another year without gathering our friends for an action-packed, fun-filled reunion here in the heart of the Rockies.  We’ll be hiking, horseback riding, rock-climbing, mountain bike riding, mountain climbing, singing, story-telling, and enjoying all types of “camp activities”.  We’ll reconnect with friends, camp, and the natural world. 

For more information, or to register, please contact Jane Sanborn at 719.748.3341.
