Celebrate Koinonia's 60-year commitment to youth ministry. If you remember Pot Day, Beaver Cove, or Blueberry Island then this event is for you! We will walk down memory lane, share gratitude for the present, and take time to collect wishes and dreams for the future.
The full program includes:

The dedication of the new Sunago Floating Bridge with the Manlove Family - Special opportunity

Updates from our Executive Director and members of the Board
-
The unveiling of WATERFRONT 60 with a Water Carnival and Canoe Races (no swamp test needed)

A vintage multimedia slide show/movie event with popcorn and bug juice, and lots of photos and videos from the Koinonia archives! Bring back special memories and share with your friends, and make new friends as well!
-
Celebration Time! We come together to celebrate our 60th year with music, song, noisemakers and merriment of all kinds, topped off with a Birthday Cake, and a Square Dance!
