Camp Dearborn Announces Labor Day, Fall Events
The fall season will kick off with the Canteen Dance Sept. 2.
Over Labor Day weekend, a live band will once again help campers rock through the last official days of the season at Camp Dearborn, and roll right into fall activities.
The band–still to be announced–will perform from 7:30-10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 2 at the camp's annual Canteen Dance.
The official camping season traditionally ends with an End of Summer Bash on Labor Day weekend, while the camp office changes gears to the welcome the fall camping crowd.
