REUNION...June 27, 11am - 5pm

Since W. Tom Ward (Derbo) founded Pinecrest Dunes Camp 78 years ago, and began a Long Island camping tradition...

...through the past 39 years of Peconic Dunes Camp, boys have become men, girls have become women, legends were made, and their stories were passed down...

...P Dunes has been home to thousands of campers, staffers, and community volunteers from near and far...

...And as our community plans for the next 78 years, we hope that all members, past and present, will come back to camp this Saturday for a day of rekindled friendships, family activities, story telling, and strategic planning...

...Because if we don't take the time to celebrate, we won't appreciate what we have.

After the reunion the Southold Historical Society will be hosting a wine and cheese reception for Pinecrest Dunes alumni. Please RSVP at cpc49@cornell.edu for this post-reunion event.
