WELCOME TO CAMP CRUSH-A-LOT

Est. 1845. Still somehow insured.

If you’re reading this, congratulations:

YOU MADE THE ROSTER.

After an extremely selective admissions process involving friendship, loyalty, shared history, questionable judgment, and at least one story we probably shouldn’t put in writing, you’ve earned a spot at Camp Crush-a-Lot.

And you’re here for a reason.

Somewhere along the way, you became part of our story.

You’ve laughed with us, celebrated with us, gotten us through hard times, gotten us into trouble, helped us out of trouble, and made life a whole lot more fun along the way.

You are one of the people who helped bring us to this moment.

We want more time with the people who helped get us here; to laugh, explore, stay up too late, and make more memories together.

So this June, we’re skipping the traditional wedding weekend.

we're going to adult summer camp!

Expect campfires, adventures, games, ghost stories, late nights, questionable athletic ability, questionable decisions, and one very important legally binding romantic event.

So pack your bags, bring your camp spirit, and leave your dignity somewhere safe at home.

CAMP CRUSH-A-LOT AWAITS.

See you at camp,
Hillary & Tom

Come for the wedding. Stay for the adult structured fun.
