I wanna go back!

Rally your camp friends and make plans to come to Mentone July 26th-27th, 2025. We are so excited to welcome you back to celebrate 100 years of Camp DeSoto!

Stay in a camp cabin with your camp friends or rent a house in Mentone and join us for the festivities. The Dining Hall will be serving up all the traditional favorites, we’ll sing as many camp songs as we can squeeze into 24 hours, and we’ll swap stories to our hearts’ content.

Below is a tentative schedule for Saturday-Sunday, so you can anticipate the fun!

A few important details….

The cost is $100 per person (if this is prohibitive, please contact us! We want everyone to be able to come.)

Accomodations in camp cabins will be on a first-come, first-served basis. However, you are welcome to stay elsewhere and join us for everything else. If you will be spending the night somewhere other than Camp, please just make note on your application (in the “cabin requests” section).

We are planning just one night at Camp. However, if you want to make a longer weekend of it, there are many rentals available in Mentone - snatch one up now.

Any DeSoto alumna 16+ is welcome to come to this celebration. If you are under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult. There is no 80 year-old age limit for this event! All are welcome.
