History
In 2001, Social chairwoman Pam Younggren acted on her 30-year dream of camping out at the beach by starting a community sleepover to proceed the long-standing pancake breakfast held Father’s Day weekend. Despite a few stormy nights, this popular tradition has continued with tent pitching late Friday afternoon, an all-kids kickball game at 6 p.m. and marshmallow roasting and s’mores for kids and adults alike in the evening.
An adult card game was originally part of the tradition but was quickly discontinued once we learned it was hard for the adults to remain quiet whilst their children tried to sleep!
