A fun and successful PumpkinFest 2023 means that we're doing it again in 2024!

With thanks to Thrivent Financial which is participating in this great effort, Calumet will be partnering with New England WELCA to make PumpkinFest 2024 even better than last year. Each pumpkin will honor or remember a particular woman who has been identified as a champion for justice & fairness.

Pumpkin carvers will gather beginning at 1 PM on OCT 26 to carve 300 pumpkins. We need help! Scroll down and volunteer to help on that day.

There will be 300 pumpkins and each one will have a candle. On the evening of the 26th, each pumpkin candle will come alive ... and as that happens, we will mark the lives of particular woman who are/were champions of justice and fairness in the world.

To include the woman in your life, you'll make a honor gift or memory gift (of any amount) and share the name of the woman you wish to highlight and lift up.

At this no-cost event, we'll be carving 300 pumpkins from 1-5 PM on October 26. If you can, stay for the evening and enjoy supper, lighting pumpkins, singing around the campfire, and putting the pumpkins to sleep later in the night. There's an option on the sign up sheet (the only part that has a cost) to stay overnight here at camp at a reduced rate.
