Holiday Greetings from Alford Lake Camp! 

As the song states: it really is “the most wonderful time of the year”!  We send warm wishes to our entire ALC Community – our campers, counselors, staff and families.  Each one of you have made ALC what it is – a place of learning, growing and a true community.  So we ask you to remember, in this season of joy and giving, to GIVE of yourself.  Reach out to the people around you and make a difference in your world.  Connect or re-connect with family and friends and cherish the simple pleasures of the holiday season!!

Thank you for being part of our Alford Lake Camp Community…thank you for making 104 summers of memories.  They are our very BEST gift!

Warmly,

Sue McMullan, Director

Betsy Brayley, Assistant Director
