2026 ALUMNI EVENTS

August 28-30 – Alumni Weekend at Camp Sweyolakan

Join us for Back to Camp: Alumni Weekend, a 21+ experience designed just for former campers, volunteers, and staff of Camp Dart-Lo and Camp Sweyolakan to reconnect, relive memories, and enjoy camp in a whole new way.

From Friday to Sunday, step back into the magic of overnight camp with all the nostalgia you can handle. Prefer a shorter visit? A Saturday-only option is also available! Transportation will take place at the Camp Sweyolakan Landing, with arrival beginning Friday afternoon and departure Sunday afternoon. Scheduled boat times will be shared closer to the start of camp.

We’re excited to share that, after hearing your feedback, we’ve made adjustments to our Alumni Weekend pricing to make this experience more accessible for our Camp Fire community. After everything our region has experienced during this summer’s fire season, we hope this weekend provides a meaningful opportunity to reconnect, create new memories, and spend time together in a place that feels like home.

Updated Pricing: Full Weekend: $275 | Saturday-Only Option: $75

Saturday-only attendees will enjoy camp from 9:00am–4:00pm, with the option to extend their stay by adding on dinner for an additional $25. Guests who choose the dinner add-on may depart camp at 7:00pm. If you’ve already registered, we’ll be reaching out directly with details regarding the pricing adjustment.

This isn’t just a camp weekend, it’s an all-inclusive getaway at one of the most special places you know. Your weekend includes:

  • 2 nights lodging
  • All meals, snacks, and happy hour sips
  • Staff-led programming so you can fully relax and enjoy
  • An exclusive Back to Camp: Alumni Weekend t-shirt
  • The opportunity to support the future of Camp Fire and the campers we serve

Activities planned include an archery tournament, canoe trip around Mica Bay, happy hour, sunrise stretching, group painting, organized hikes, welcome tours, gaga ball tournament, challenge course, guided meditation in the hammock lounge, a photo scavenger hunt, and more!

Come for the nostalgia, stay for the community, and leave knowing you’re helping keep camp magic alive for future generations. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Camp Sweyolakan for a weekend of fun, friendship, and camp traditions.

Registration closes Friday, August 21st at noon.
