CPT Summer Picnic - now at Gompers Park

CPT Picnic Schedule & Info

Opening Ceremonies – 10:00 AM
We’ll kick off the day with bagels from Gotham Bagels and cream cheese, courtesy of CPT. Bring your own coffee, juice, water, or other favorite morning beverage to pair with the spread. We also welcome any sweets or fresh fruit you'd like to contribute to get everyone energized for the day ahead!

After breakfast, you’re free to enjoy the day your way—join a game, explore the nearby hiking trails, take a dip in the pool (just a 15-minute walk away), play cards, read a book, or simply relax and enjoy each other’s company.

Buffet Lunch – 2:00 PM
We’ll gather again for a delicious catered lunch featuring Italian Beef Sandwiches and Chicken Limone from Moretti’s Ristorante & Pizzeria—provided by CPT. Please bring your favorite side dishes, desserts, or beverages to share with the group.

A few helpful notes:

• Skip frozen desserts—there’s no electricity or cold storage in the pavilion.

• Public restrooms are available near the parking lot.
