Reuniting the Ukandu Family

Started in 2018, the Ukandu Family (Re)Union is for anyone who has attended, will attend, or whose family members attended any of the Ukandu programming over our nearly 40 year history.

This one-day event is offered each year to connect old friends and share stories. Old photos and old videos collide with selfies and video diaries, bringing multiple generations of Ukanduers together. Watching adults who were campers at age 8 interact with current 8 year old campers; and seeing a 30 year old survivor introduce their toddler to their counselor from 20 years ago, makes it clear that we really are part of one big family.
