2026 Chris Purcell’s Celebration of Life
June 5 - June 7
Come to The Mountain to celebrate the life of Christopher Purcell with his family and friends.
Attend his memorial service and lunch, the service will be Saturday, June 6 at noon in the field by the Craft Barn at the bottom of The Mountain, and lunch at 2:00pm in the dining hall up top.
Rain site for the service will be in The Commons (the room on the left side of the dining hall building).
Spend the rest of your time enjoying the place and people he loved. Christopher attended Mountain Camp for the first time in 1981, became a counselor, year round employee and much later returned for Act 2 as arts and crafts director.
