BB Camp plans staff reunions

B’nai B’rith Camp is planning a series of virtual reunions for staff members who made the Devil’s Lake campground their summer home in years past.
For nearly a century, BB Camp has provided campers with opportunities to connect with the outdoors, Judaism and each other, living the motto of Building Friendships for Life. But in today’s busy world, adult responsibilities and commitments have caused many to lose touch. Inspired by its century anniversary next year, BB Camp decided it's time to bring everyone back together.
If you worked at BB Camp, visit bbcamp.org/staff-reunions to get connected with other staff. BB Camp is running reunions throughout the summer and has created Facebook groups for staff to connect. Upcoming reunions (all at 6:30 pm) are slated for staff from the 1920s-60s, July 8; 2000s July 15; 1980s, July 22; and 2010s,  Aug. 5. During reunions, participants tell a bit about how they came to work at camp, when, and in what role(s), plus what they’ve been up to since. They share camp memories. And, of course, there are plenty of photos from the good old days.
