Guests took part in action-packed activities including archery, hatchet throwing, slingshots, hiking and campfire s'mores along with carnival-style games and crafts. A Hawaiian shaved ice truck served up shaved ice, hot dogs, chicken tenders and Frito pies, a crowd-pleasing addition that had attendees lining up throughout the afternoon.

Earlier in the day, the energy at Founder's Hall surged with a spirited karaoke session before DJ Darren took the stage at Commons Area, electrifying the crowd with a high-energy set that kept the celebration going.
