Not everyone attending the three-day Brister Family Reunion left the ranch on Sunday evening, June 30. About 80 cousins stayed to enjoy five more days of family fun at Cousin Camp 2019. It is a wonderful opportunity for the cousins to get to know each other and bond as a family by living, learning, working, and playing together for a week every year.

The first Cousin Camp held twenty two years ago consisted of Cindy Prater and about 27 young cousins from the next generation. Those first cousin campers are now grown but are still coming to Cousin Camp and are bringing their kids. Every year more grown cousins schedule vacation time from their jobs so they can also attend. Consequently, now there are about as many adults at Cousin Camp as kids. The age range this year was from a few months old to 70+ years of age.
