A Reception Full of Fun and Games

Their reception in Kramer Hall was full of thoughtful details designed to entertain their guests, including the 30+ kids in attendance. Katelyn and Joel filled the camp boards with puzzles and trivia, making it a playful and interactive experience for everyone. This unique touch perfectly reflected their personalities and kept guests engaged throughout the evening.

Instead of the traditional cake cutting, Katelyn and Joel opted for a “First S’more.” It was a perfect nod to the camp setting, giving the moment a personal and relaxed twist. This touch added to the overall sense of fun and connection that filled the day.

As the evening progressed, the celebration turned into a full-blown dance party. Their guests, both young and old, filled the dance floor with energy and laughter. Outside, guests gathered around fires to make s’mores, enjoying the perfect end to a magical day.
