Back in the Woods for Year 47!

APT's annual Company Picnic is a favorite event in the lead up to opening nights. A chance to connect with new and returning folks, this year the APT Company Picnic officially welcomed over 250 people to the woods and the summer ahead.

After company-wide introductions and a potluck-style meal, APT staff members celebrated (and lightly roasted) their fellow team members hitting major anniversary milestones this season.

Thank you to the following folks for continuing to share your extraordinary skills, talents and passion in service to APT. Cheers to many more seasons to come!
