Buffalo Summer Picnic: Simple Fun Rediscovered

June 7 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Remember When Summer Meant Adventure?

Remember the days when a picnic in the park was the highlight of your weekend? When playing games, exploring trails, and sharing food with friends felt like the perfect way to spend an afternoon?

It’s time to reclaim that simple joy.

Join your Jorny Buffalo community for an afternoon that celebrates the beauty of slowing down, connecting with nature, and rediscovering the magic of unstructured fun with like-minded friends.


Your Afternoon of Summer Connection

When: [Date], 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Where: Delaware Park, Shelter #2
Weather Plan: Rain or shine – we’ve got you covered!

2:00 PM – Arrive & Reconnect

Step away from the hustle and ease into “park time.” No agenda, no pressure – just the simple pleasure of greeting friends and settling into a more relaxed pace.

2:30 PM – Games & Laughter

Remember how to play? We’ll have classic lawn games, group activities, and maybe even some you haven’t tried since childhood. Come ready to be a little silly and a lot more carefree.

3:30 PM – Nature Walk & Explore

Discover (or rediscover) the hidden corners of Delaware Park. Whether you’re up for a gentle stroll or a more adventurous hike, we’ll explore together at whatever pace feels good.

5:00 PM – Picnic Supper & Stories

The best part of any picnic – sharing food and stories as the afternoon light gets golden. Bring your appetite and your favorite summer memories to share.


The Jorny Touch

This isn’t just any picnic – it’s a celebration of:

  • Slowing down in a world that moves too fast
  • Simple pleasures that don’t cost a fortune or require planning
  • Intergenerational fun – games and activities that remind us play doesn’t have an expiration date
  • Community building in the most natural setting possible
  • Buffalo appreciation – experiencing one of our city’s most beautiful spaces with new friends

Rain or Shine Promise

Summer weather can be unpredictable, but good times don’t have to be! We’ve reserved Shelter #2, so if Mother Nature decides to join our party, we’ll simply shift to:

  • Cozy board games and card tournaments
  • Indoor storytelling and connection activities
  • Covered picnic dining with all the same great food and conversation
  • Proof that great company makes any weather perfect

What to Bring

We’ll Provide:

  • All games and activities
  • Tables, chairs, and shelter
  • Fun picnic snacks and supplies
  • Good vibes and great company

You Bring:

  • Your own drinks
  • Comfortable clothes and walking shoes
  • Stories, laughter, and an appetite for fun
  • Maybe a favorite lawn chair if you have one

Why This Matters

In a world of endless notifications, packed schedules, and indoor living, there’s something revolutionary about choosing to spend an afternoon in the park with friends.

This picnic is about more than food and games – it’s about:

  • Remembering what truly nourishes us
  • Creating space for spontaneous conversations
  • Connecting with nature and each other
  • Proving that the best adventures are often the simplest ones

It’s about reclaiming summer.
