Reunion 2026: become a blessing

Become a Blessing at Reunion as We Live the Mission Prayer in Community with each other!

The numbers are growing, and the program is blooming with blessings and servant leaders. Just a reminder of who is supporting our Reunion this year, Janné Grover of the First Presidency, Travis Rees the Western Field Young Adult Leader, Christian Biwott as our Graceland Representative, and Elene Cloete the Executive Director of Outreach International.

We will be saying goodbye to Larry and welcoming Laura Bolton and her family as our new MCP!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Saturday, July 25 we will begin REGISTRATION in the Peace Center at 1:00 p.m. and we will have a joyous welcome that night.

Sunday, July 26 we will begin with a SACRAMENT SERVICE at 9:00 a.m. at the pool for a baptism and then return to the Chapel of the Pines for a time of worship with a confirmation, communion and Larry McGuire speaking. 

At 2:00 p.m. we will have a CALLED CONFERENCE for the setting apart of Laura Bolton as our MCP, and the ordination of Denise Leichter to the office of Evangelist. There will be a reception to follow for the Boltons and Larry McGuire.

The evening gathering at 7:00 p.m. will feature Elene Cloete to share the highlights of Outreach International and have some fun.

Laura Bolton is speaking Monday night, Janné Grover is teaching the Adult Class and speaking Wednesday night, and there will be a carnival again with a visit from Mayor Max and the Deputies.

We'll also have:

• Another great Talent Show (start planning now to share);

• Delicious BBQ;

• Camp photo;

• Night swims for youth;

• Early morning devotions;

• A special presenter to help launch our 75th Anniversary for Buckhorn Campground in 2027;

• Under the Pines chats;

• Forest Therapy walks;

• A book review chat of "The Correspondent" by Virginia Evans (plan ahead to read);

• Registered Child and Youth Worker (RCYW) class with Clayton for everyone working with children and youth and all priesthood members;

• Recreation with Steve Davis;

• A choir with an abundance of instruments for our services (bring yours);

• A dynamic and loving experience for our children and youth;

• Much time to rest;

• Visit with legacy friends and new families; and

• An expectation that the Holy Spirit will bless us.

Please register soon to plan for available space (day campers, weekend only, full week), and keep the Reunion planning and experience in your prayers.  

UPDATE TO PRICING MODEL

We have been working on a new pricing structure to make reunion more affordable, which is why registration is launching a little later than normal. We are thrilled to announce that thanks to a generous partnership with the Carlsbad Congregation, the mission center has established an event generosity fund that will drastically reduce the costs for people to attend events at Buckhorn!

Registration & Pricing Details

The actual cost to attend reunion is nearly $500 per person, which we know is difficult for many families. Our goal is to ensure that costs are not a barrier for anyone who wants to attend.

• Registration Opened: Monday, May 4, at 8:00 a.m.

• New Cost: $100/person for the week (Children under age 3 are still free).

• Housing Deposit: A deposit of $25 per registration is required to reserve housing (refundable for cancellations prior to July 11).

• Additional Assistance: Shared Campership funds (formerly known as DEEP) are also available.

Because of this exciting opportunity to reduce costs, and with President Janné Grover as our guest minister, we expect reunion to be full. Please register early!

Support the Generosity Fund

We are incredibly grateful to the Carlsbad Congregation for their contribution to this year's reduced costs. We invite individuals and other congregations to donate to this fund so that we can continue using this model for future events. Please contact Paul Harding with any questions about donating.

Mark your calendars now; you won’t want to miss this year. We look forward to our week on the mountain as we live the mission prayer together!

With excitement,

Paul Harding and Denise Leichter
