Caledonia’s Summer Sunday School dates back to the summer of 1917 when the Manges and Moyer families decided to provide a Sunday school for their and other families’ children who spent the summer months vacationing at Caledonia, be it in tents or the increasing cabin community around the park.

Since 1955, the Franklin County Sunday School Association has kept the tradition alive and offers outdoor, nondenominational Sunday school from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend.

All are welcome to attend.
