Colgate has teamed with KiddieCorp to provide children ages 6 months–12 years with a program they want to attend during Reunion, while providing you with that critical “peace of mind” feeling so you can attend event activities.

KiddieCorp, which is in its 27th year of providing high quality children’s programs and youth services to conventions, trade shows, and special events, takes watching your children very seriously. KiddieCorp has enjoyed a long-time partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which has helped to establish KiddieCorp as a premier provider of event children’s program services.

This year, the Office of Alumni Relations is pleased to offer FREE registration for Camp Raider to all Reunion attendees.
  • More information, and the registration form, can be found here.
  • Alternatively, you can register online here.
