Alumni Events

We are thrilled to be celebrating our 65th summer with an afternoon of camp!

While admission is free, we encourage alumnae to help support the Sam and Rochelle Hoffman Memorial/Harold Gordon Honorary Campership Fund with an In-N-Out Food Truck meal ticket or a Kona Ice Truck ticket! Or consider some Camp Kinneret gear like a Camper T-Shirt to Tie Dye at the event, a grey hoodie, or some special edition 65th anniversary items! While all of the gear will be available at the event, you can save a little by pre-purchasing it and we will have it ready for you when you arrive! Plus a few of the items will only be available as part of the packages. Supplies are limited so don’t wait to RSVP!

Day Of Details
The event is from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday July 27th. The event will be held at Camp Kinneret: 29646 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills, CA 91301. The afternoon will start with “Good Morning Mountain” at 2:15 and the day will end with “Friendship Hill” at 4:45. This is a CASH ONLY event, so please come prepared if you plan to purchase food truck tickets, or any merchandise.

Where will the event be held?
At camp in Agoura! Our address is 29646 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills, CA 91301. Click here for directions to camp!

What will there be to do?
During the course of the afternoon, we will have tie-dye and lanyards at Arts & Crafts, swimming in the pool, the rock wall, JPL, gaga and archery! We will also have a craft fair full of items with proceeds benefiting the Campership Fund!

Will there be shade?
Yes! We are bringing in some tables, chairs and a tent so we are sure there is plenty of shade to keep us cool, even on the hottest of days. We do encourage you to bring your own sunscreen though!

Who is JPL?
For the last several years, the folks at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena have been working with us on some curriculum, along with several staff coming out with telescopes to look at the stars and planets during our sleepouts for fourth graders and up! At the 65th, they will be bringing some other activities as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo mission!

What about parking?
We will be parking at 29903 Agoura Road with a shuttle bus running to get up to camp! But be ready to sing Howdy-Do all the way up the driveway!

Will there be anything to eat?
Yes! In the spirit of a staff meeting menu, we will have the In-N-Out truck along with the Kona Shaved Ice Truck! We will also be selling cold sodas and water. All proceeds will benefit the Sam and Rochelle Hoffman Memorial/Harold Gordon Honorary Campership Fund.

What is the Campership Fund?
The fund is administered through the American Camp Association and is a 501(c)(3) organization. With these funds, we are able to have campers join us in camp that would otherwise not be able to have this experience. Over the last three summers, roughly 10% of our camper population has been made up of children attending on a campership.

How do I exhibit at the craft fair?
The fair is for Camp Kinneret Alums or Friends of Kinneret that want to help us by donating a portion of their sales to the Campership Fund. When clicking on the registration link below, there is an option for vendors to register to participate in the fair. We look forward to having a wide variety of items up for sale!

Online Registration for the Anniversary & Reunion is now closed. But don’t worry! You can still attend on July 27th!

Parking will be located at 29903 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills, 91301 and we will have a shuttle bus bringing people to and from the event!

REMINDER: This is a cash only event, so please come prepared if you plan to purchase food truck tickets or any merchandise.
