"For all that has been, thanks. For all that is to come, yes!"
Dag Hammarskjold
We invite you to join us Saturday, June 23, to celebrate and give thanks as we mark the Centre's 70th anniversary and say "yes" to another 70 years to come!
See the schedule below for the full day of activities, which includes our annual general meeting (AGM).
Come for the day or stay for the weekend!
Invite your family and Naramata friends to come, too!
- If just attending for the day, please register as staying off site.
- If staying overnight please note that, while spring reservations usually require a stay of three-or-more nights, for this weekend you can choose to stay for one, two, or more nights, as your schedule permits.
Volunteers Needed!
We would appreciate your help if you are interested in volunteering. Find ways to get involved and sign up here!
Bring Your Memorabilia
As part of our celebrations, we will have a display with memories of each decade since the 1940s. Do you have a Naramata t-shirt that you loved, items from Winter Session or Summer Staff to display? Other favourite mementos to share? Bring them along ... and take them home at the end of the day!
Share Your Naramata Centre Photos
Our celebration would not be complete without a 70th anniversary slide-show of
happy times and experiences. What was your favorite "Naramata Centre moment?" Contribute your photos by emailing them
to
Jane Sanden (cjsanden@gmail.com), so she can add them to the presentation.

Summer Staff and Winter Session reunions
Experience how old friends become new again, and years melt away at a winter session or summer staff reunion. In honour of the 70th anniversary, we would like to offer Winter Session and Summer Staff groups this opportunity.
We have designated two summer long weekends (Canada Day and Labour Day) to allow reunion groups the opportunity to gather for a shorter (3-night) stay, as well as the opportunity to re-live old memories by staying in Alberta Hall.
If you would like to plan a get-together for your Summer Staff cohorts or Winter Session gang, check out the template for planning and executing such events. You can tailor it to your liking, but it will give you a place to start and provide tips along the way.

and get started today. (Ignore the highlighted sentence about booking in February!)
We hope to see you this Spring, Summer or Fall:
- June 23 for our 70th anniversary celebrations.
- July 21-28 for community activities and/or a program organized by past Summer Staff and Winter Session participants.
- The Canada Day or Labor Day weekends for a reunion that you organize with your cohort of Summer Staff or Winter Session friends.
- Or at another time this spring, summer or fall!
During the
summer w
e will offer community activities related to our 70th anniversary each week. So come for a week and enjoy!
