Menogyn’s
100th Anniversary
On July 15-17, 2022, over 360 individuals attended the celebration weekend, representing eight decades of Menogyn history. It was a time for sharing stories, renewing friendships and making new ones. There were so many precious scenes around camp: the shocked faces of a reunion fifty years in the making, an action-packed swim area, campfire on the Point, live music on the Boathouse Dock, the Contra dance in the dining hall—and every small moment of connection in between. One participant described the weekend as “a giant pile of happiness”, and that description seems to fit!
