Alumni Connection

Welcome Alumni!

Our family has been involved in camping for over 75 years. Camp Watervliet for Girls, Lakeside Farm Camp and Cedar Lodge have all been a important and lasting part of our history. We know many of you hold your experience at camp as dear as we do and we want to keep it that way! Facebook has proven to be a great way for our alumni to keep connected. We are hoping you agree and will use one of the links below to get back in touch with those that mattered to you during your time at camp. If you are not facebook savy, we have also provided contact information for a person that is looking forward to hearing from you!

Reunion:

Cedar Lodge hosts a Camp Watervliet/Lakeside Farm Camp/Cedar Lodge reunion every year in September. You can find information about it at the bottom of this page. We have found that though people are always a little worried about coming that first time (“I won’t know anyone….”) they usually come back for a second….and a third…..and a forth……reunion, because, much like camp, the magic is in the people that they meet there. Everyone present holds one special think in common……CAMP!!!!

Hope you’ll join us,
