From September 6-8, 2024, Rising Suns from all around the world gathered in Szteklin, Poland for the World Reunion!

Alumni left the weekend feeling energized, with a sense of gratitude for having a community of people with whom they can have hard conversations during turbulent times. There was a renewed appreciation for, and belief in the importance of programs like Camp Rising Sun.

We were excited to see alumni spanning more than 60 years. We loved gathering with those who had attended Camp in the 1960s and also seeing about 20 campers from 2019-2024 were in attendance, including The Ethical Leadership Experience (TELE) participants!

Thank you to the CRS Polish Alumni Association and the planning committee—Kasia Ciesla '99, Agnieszka Szefer '07, Filip Sulma '95, Agata Szczepanska '12, Barbara Ciosk '15—for hosting this special event.

“Thank you all so much for this amazing reunion. First to the Polish AA for your hard work that made it happen. We felt your love and devotion. Then, to all who left their everyday life and gathered. It is so amazing and exciting to see how the magic works. You gather a great bunch of people (from all ages and backgrounds), put them in a wonderful site and the magic happens!” - Avi B., Israel

It was a weekend of celebration, connection, and CRS! Thank you to all who joined us!
