Family Reunion Fun: Planning the Ultimate Gathering at Greek Peak

For our more relaxed family dinner and evening activities, we chose the Trax Pub & Grill Deck. This venue offered the ideal blend of casual dining and outdoor fun. We kicked off the evening with a delicious meal surrounded by the beautiful mountain scenery, then transitioned into our family games and activities. The deck provided plenty of space for our friendly trivia competition, board games, and even a few impromptu dance-offs as the sun set over the mountains. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy each other’s company in a laid-back setting.

The Planning Process: Herding the Cats

Once we had our venues locked down, it was time to start organizing. If you’ve ever tried to plan a meal for a large group of people, you’ll understand the delicate balance between accommodating everyone’s dietary needs and avoiding a menu that looks like it was designed by a committee of picky eaters (which, in our case, it kind of was). Luckily, Greek Peak’s catering team was up for the challenge.

We worked together to craft a menu that would satisfy everyone, from Grandma’s gluten-free diet to Uncle Joe’s carnivorous cravings. And let’s just say, when the food was served, it was a hit. The burgers, fresh salads, and mouthwatering desserts were the talk of the evening – and for once, there were no complaints about the food. That’s a win in my book!

Activities and Entertainment: Keeping Everyone Happy

With the logistics handled, the next step was planning activities that would keep all generations entertained. The great thing about Greek Peak is that there’s no shortage of things to do, whether you’re into adrenaline-pumping adventures or laid-back relaxation.

For the thrill-seekers, we organized a zip-lining session and a round of mountain coaster rides. While the younger kids enjoyed hours of fun at the indoor water park at Hope Lake Lodge, the older generation opted for a more leisurely SkyTour Chairlift ride to the top of the mountain. Once there, we took advantage of the stunning views for a family photo op that will no doubt become a cherished memory.

And then there was the evening entertainment. We brought in a DJ who understood the assignment: keep the dance floor packed with everything from classic hits to the latest pop songs. Seeing three generations of my family busting a move together was a highlight of the reunion. But the real showstopper? Great Aunt Mildred surprising everyone with an amazing Sprinkler move that had the whole family cheering and laughing. Who knew she had those moves up her sleeve?
