All are welcome to come home to Canaan Valley for a weekend of centennial festivities. We will laugh, play, and celebrate 100 years of inspiring youth to discover their best selves and learn more about the future of our transformative organization.
Attendees can participate in interest groups, explore Merrowvista, catch up with friends, enjoy delicious meals, and more. Throughout the weekend, we will immerse ourselves in positive and powerful community at the heart of AYF programs for a century.
Founder Friends of all ages are encouraged to join the centennial festivities. Onsite housing is available. All participants younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
