There are so many fun family reunions ideas! It\u2019s not just a time to get together with loved ones you haven\u2019t seen for years, it\u2019s time to create great memories you\u2019ll talk about for a life time. Nature\u2019s Getaway is the perfect spot for a family reunion. We have a variety of cabins<\/a> nestled in a spectacular wilderness and a wonderful cook house where incredible feasts can be created, families can eat together and play games. Gather at the cook house<\/a>. Unwind, relaxing and laugh. This is the ideal spot to host your small group of\u00a0close friends and family.<\/p>\n If your family has spread out over Canada (or around the world), it\u2019s easy to come together at Nature\u2019s Getaway as we are just a\u00a0short distance from Calgary\u2019s international airport (YYC). Plan for a leisurely, scenic drive as you\u2019ll be frequently stopping to take\u00a0photos on the way. Once you arrive in this quiet paradise, you can start to recharge away from the bustle of every day life.<\/p>\n Plan ahead and dig into your family history to discover\u00a0interesting stories and then make fun awards to give to that family member. The real fun is when you give the award to the\u00a0recipient as they get to give a thank you speech which includes an explanation of why they are getting the award. Did you know\u00a0your aunt won a beauty contest? Did you know you cousin is a bull rider? So many unusual and funny stories will be told. It really\u00a0is a fantastic way to get to know each other better and have some laughs.<\/p>\n Come up with a bunch of questions like: \u201cWho won a car racing in 1977?\u201d or\u00a0\u201cWho has visited 52 countries including Russia and Iceland?\u201d You can have an award for the person or for the table which gets the\u00a0most correct answers. The award you give can be a silly award like an old sneaker painted gold, or an old, broken household item\u00a0like an coffee maker. And the next time you have a family reunion they can award someone else that same award and pass it on. It\u00a0can be passed on for years to come.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a hoot! Have you ever seen your great\u00a0aunt do a hula dance? Did you know that grandpa is a stand-up comedian? Don\u2019t forget to take pictures or record a video of these\u00a0hidden talents. This event will provide hours of laughter. A variation on this idea is Joke Night or Karaoke Night. Step into the\u00a0spotlight!<\/p>\n Kids and adults alike will enjoy the retelling of stories which\u00a0might be forgotten if not retold. And it\u2019s so much better to hear it directly from the person who actually experienced the event.<\/p>\n One story will remind someone of another which will lead to hours of interesting stories while you roast marshmallows a round a camp fire. And it might even spark a family member to write a memoir to preserve your family history.<\/p>\n It can be a simple set up. Or you could find a Polaroid camera, some film and let people\u00a0take \u201cselfies\u201d. Be sure to bring markers so they can write message on the photos. After you can create a digital photo album to\u00a0email to everyone. At the same time why not make a family directory so everyone can keep in touch after the reunion.<\/p>\n Prior to arriving at the family reunion ask people to send you their baby\u00a0photos. At the family reunion you can create a wall of photos and number them. Then people can try and put a name to the\u00a0pictures. Another version of this idea is to gather around a campfire and read off facts about a family member and see how quickly\u00a0someone can guess who it is.<\/p>\n Some are\u00a0easier to plan then others but all of them are loads of fun. And don\u2019t forget to leave some down time so you can soak in a hot tub,\u00a0look at the stars and relax. Sometimes those unplanned hours are the best opportunities to reconnect with each other.<\/p>\n If your family likes to get outside and do something, there\u2019s lots to do around Nordegg. There\u2019s lakes full of fish, rock faces to be\u00a0scaled, white water rivers to raft, trails to hike, mountains to bike, and the famous Abraham Lake with it\u2019s frozen methane bubbles\u00a0in the winter. Plan for day trips to the Icefield Parkway or the check out the Brazeau Collieries Mine National Heritage Site. Stretch\u00a0your legs and take a tour … or walk, or hike, or bike. Regardless of the season, there skiing and snowshoeing too. It\u2019s time to get\u00a0back to nature and recharge.<\/p>\n How about a bake off or a cake decorating contest? You can decorate cup cakes\u00a0and then after you\u2019ve judged them and awarded a winner, you get to eat them. Yum! Or make ice cream the old way with a hand\u00a0cranked ice cream maker. Everyone can take part in the process. Or get the men involved in a BBQ rib contest. Don\u2019t forget about\u00a0grandma\u2019s famous potato salad! Why not have a pot luck dinner where everyone makes a favourite dish and exchanges recipes.\u00a0Then you can create a family recipe book.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s some family reunion cake ideas because you don\u2019t want to forget about birthdays or anniversaries. If someone has a\u00a0birthday during your reunion make sure to have a funny cake for them. It can be decorated around a memory, hilarious story or\u00a0maybe you decorate the cake to look like them. Let your creativity run wild and create some edible fun!<\/p>\n You could make a it a surprise book exchange and wrap\u00a0the books ahead of time so no one knows what they are getting. Or if you are a creative family, plan a crafting afternoon. The final\u00a0results can be shown at dinner that evening. Or work together to create a family tree using photos. Remember to include photos\u00a0of those who are unable to join you at the reunion.<\/p>\n Those are just a few fun ideas for you to consider when planning your family reunion. And don\u2019t forget that we are here to help\u00a0you with your plans. We really hope to see you and your extended family soon. Whether you want to relax and rejuvenate, get\u00a0back to nature, play games of just have some fun.
