Cocoon The Return
A laid-back afternoon poolside in the sun before the evening celebration kicks into gear.

"It is everything you've dreamed of. It is nothing you expect"
After the morning tour, head over to Birch Creek Pool at the former Pendleton Country Club for a relaxed afternoon in the sun. This is your chance to unwind, reconnect with classmates, and enjoy summer in Pendleton together before the volume gets turned up for Saturday night.
Grab a bite at the snack bar and a beverage without ever leaving poolside. Whether you want to jump straight into the pool, claim a lounge chair and soak up the sun, or simply hang out and catch up with old friends, this afternoon is built for taking it easy.
Pack your swimsuit, sunscreen, a towel, and a pair of sunglasses, and settle in for a few hours of the kind of easy summer afternoon that feels like being seventeen again.
Have a couple "non 86'ers" who want to hang out? Bring a couple extras to join in the fun!
