PLANNING YOUR FAMILY REUNION

Here at Koinania Valley Ranch we have hosted many family reunions with groups of 15-50 people and in ages ranging from 1-86 years. The family members come from various locations scattered across the country to join for a few days of camaraderie and re-connecting with extended family or enjoying an annual canoe trip on the Black River. This migration to a reunion then often becomes an annual ritual closely cementing and bonding family members. Regular gatherings of your family will create emotional and social stability in the family.

Planning your family reunion can seem to be a huge task when you consider all the variables and conflicting needs that demand your attention. The logistics of the planning involve bringing distant family members together, each with unique needs, budgets, time constraints, and contributions to the family dynamic. The rewards of your reunion can be felt for generations in your family, so don't let these points drive you away from planning your reunion. Here are some thoughts, as seen from the perspective of family reunion facilitators, that might help you in your reunion planning.

Please see these tips for planning your reunion here and different suggestions based on the size of your family reunion or group. We are happy to host your anniversaries, birthdays, etc. that might be the reason for the reunion and we are available 24/7 to answer any questions and help with anything needed to suit your unique needs.
