Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

From Findley Lake Forward and

The Findley Lake Community Foundation

The Findley Lake Nature Trails Network would like to thank everyone who helped to make this year's Veterans Day dinner a success. We are always grateful to the Findley Lake Boy Scout Troop for serving and cleaning up. Thank you to all who made the wonderful baked goods for dessert. Findley Lake Church provided an intimate and spacious venue for our dinner this year. Organic potatoes were donated by Folkland Foods of Waterford. Beautiful cards were created by the French Creek Christian Home Schoolers. Thank you to all the sponsors and those who purchased the Findley Lake Community Calendar whose proceeds pay for the meal. Many volunteers outside the FLNTN helped make this year's event so special.

And the greatest appreciation goes to those who serve and have served our great country, the Veterans. We thank you all so very much.

3rd Annual

Lighting of the Lake and

Surroundings

We need your help again this year!

Let's make our town an even more magical place to visit!

We are asking property owners to place a lighted tree or decorate their docks and surrounding areas for the month of December. Lighting from your decks would require an extension cord and a timer set from 5pm-midnight, making the Lake look like a magical winter wonderland over the holidays. Please contact Nancy Sonney, owner of Secret Cubby,

at 814-881-9118 with questions.

Let's light up the Lake for Christmas through the Village!

The Camp at Findley is excited to announce that we are offering Summer Camp in 2026! We will have camps open to grades K-12 AND a new STEM camp.

Registration for camp will open on December 3rd!

Stay tuned for Early registration discounts and more!
