Family Reunion Services

Dedicated Family Gathering Space

Our historic Rec Hall offers a spacious and welcoming place for your family to gather for meals, games, celebrations, and special events. Tables, seating, and other amenities can be arranged to suit your group's needs. Available during select weeks when our summer day camp is not in session.

Reserved Outdoor Gathering Areas

Enjoy time together in designated outdoor spaces with picnic tables, grills, and room for family games, barbecues, and relaxed gatherings. Our beautiful lakeside property offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors together.

Family Bonfire & S'mores Night

Gather around a crackling bonfire under the Adirondack stars! We can help arrange a special evening with firewood, seating, and s'mores supplies—a perfect setting for stories, laughter, and family memories.

Your Terra Alta Reunion Contact

Planning a gathering for multiple generations can be complicated. Your designated Terra Alta contact can assist with cottage arrangements, activity suggestions, property amenities, and other logistics to help your reunion run smoothly.

Personalized Cottage Assignments

We'll work with your family organizer to help select cottages that accommodate your group's preferences. Whether you'd like grandparents near grandchildren, cousins staying together, or accommodations with fewer steps, we'll help identify the best options based on availability.

Accessibility & Mobility Planning

We can help identify cottages with convenient parking, fewer steps, shorter walking distances, and proximity to gathering areas. Let us know about your family's mobility considerations so we can help you plan appropriately.

Welcome Packages & Reunion Information

Arrive with the information you need to settle in and enjoy your stay. Welcome materials can include property maps, cottage assignments, activity schedules, Wi-Fi information, emergency contacts, and local recommendations.

Customized Family Activity Schedule (additional fees may apply, depending on activity)

Design a reunion that's as active or relaxed as you like! Choose from possibilities such as pickleball and tennis tournaments, family Olympics, scavenger hunts, tie-dye, yoga, bingo, trivia, and group games. We can help you explore activities suited to your family's ages and interests.

Lake Activities & Adventures

Enjoy swimming at our sandy beach, kayaking on beautiful Schroon Lake, and spending time together on the waterfront. Ask about options for family kayak outings, boat excursions, and other lake adventures.

Activities for the Kids

Younger family members will love our playgrounds, beach, games, and outdoor recreation. Depending on the dates of your reunion, children may be able to participate in our summer day camp.

Rainy-Day Fun

Rainy afternoons can be a great opportunity for family fun! Consider board games, puzzles, cards, arts and crafts, movie afternoons, or family trivia. We'll help you explore available indoor spaces and activities based on your reunion dates.

Group Meals & Special Dining Events

Bring everyone together over a memorable meal! From welcome barbecues and pancake breakfasts to lakeside picnics, lobster bakes, and catered farewell dinners, we can help you explore group dining options. Families can prepare their own meals, arrange catering, or combine both.
