Alumni Day 2025

Alumni Day 2025

July 20 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

The SLCAA invites alumni and their families to Alumni Day 2025!

Deadline to register: Friday, July 4

Please join us for our biggest event of the year: Alumni Day!

What better way to spend a summer day than with your friends and family at Surprise Lake Camp?!  We invite you to join us for a day of reconnecting, reminiscing, swimming, boating, singing (round-up), a swim-a-thon, a BBQ, and more!

Visit the SLC museum, shop the SLC “Swag Store” to purchase a souvenir and show off your camp spirit, (current Annual or Lifetime Members of the SLC Alumni Association receive a 10% discount!), and learn more about different ways of giving back to camp.

We recommend you pack blankets or chairs, bathing suits, towels, sunscreen, and anything else you think you’ll need for a day at camp!

Want to make a weekend out of it?  We’ve arranged for hotel room blocks and we’ll be gathering the night before Alumni Day for Alumni Day Eve Lawnfest!  More details about this can be found by clicking here.

ALUMNI DAY FEE *

Children 15 and under are FREE.

$18 per person (ages 16 and up) for current Annual or Lifetime members of the SLC Alumni Association.

$36 per person (ages 16 and up) for non-members of the SLC Alumni Association.

In today’s day and age, and especially in an environment that prioritizes safety for children and guests, camp must have control and information regarding who is on the grounds. Therefore, we require pre-registration of all Alumni Day guests. If you do not register for Alumni Day in advance, you will not be permitted to enter camp.  Please register by Friday, July 4 by completing the form below.  If you have any questions, please email alumni@surpriselake.org or call 845-265-3616.

*Please note that our food order is based on the number of registrations received by July 4.  Any cancellations made after this date cannot be refunded.

Alumni Day 2025

  • Guests who join today will have their alumni day entry fee waived.
  • The 1902 Society empowers every camp alum, parent, grandparent, and friend to fulfill Surprise Lake Camp’s mission: to provide the magic of summer camp to every child, regardless of ability to pay. Back in 1902, the camp’s founders established SLC as a life-changing summer home where cost would pose no barrier. Today’s 1902 Society Members carry forward that legacy.
  • The proceeds of this 50/50 Raffle will assist the Alumni Association in its mission to support camp and the SLC Scholarship Fund.
  • I understand that use of the camp’s facilities involves terrain, activities, and group living arrangements and interactions that may be new to me/my family, and that they come with certain risks and uncertainties beyond what I / we may be used to dealing with at home. I am aware of these risks, and I are assuming them on behalf of me/my family. We realize that no environment is risk-free, and so I will instruct my family on the importance of abiding by the camp’s safety rules, and I represent that all members of my group will be familiar with these rules and will obey them. Except to the extent caused directly by the negligence of Surprise Lake Camp, I further agree to save and hold harmless Surprise Lake Camp, its owners, agents, and employees, from any cause of action or claim brought against them by me, including any judgment, settlement, or award, along with costs of defending against this claim, including attorney’s fees, proportionate to and to the extent of our liability.
  • GENERAL RULES FOR ALUMNI DAY 1. Every attendee/guest needs to wear a wristband. 2. Alumni Day is NOT a Visiting Day. Most campers will be out of camp for a large part of the day. When they return, they will not be allowed to visit with their families. 3. No pets or alcohol permitted on grounds. 4. All parking is on the ball field. 5. Smoking is permitted in the designated smoking section behind the canteen (and never near campers). 6. Alumni may not enter living quarters of staff or campers. 7.
