Ranger Alli Rewind Awards 2025:

Celebrate the Wildest Moments of the Year at Twin Ponds Lodge

The year might be coming to an end, but the stories sure aren’t. It’s time for the 2nd Annual Ranger Alli Rewind Awards — a celebration of laughter, love, and light-hearted chaos at Twin Ponds Lodge. This is your chance to honor the campers, couples, cocktails, and community that made 2025 unforgettable. Whether you were living your best towel-wrapped fantasy or just trying to find some fun at the cockpit, it’s time to rewind and recognize the people and experiences of the Lodge that made 2025 EPIC.

Ranger Alli Rewind Award Categories

There are 15 predetermined categories for this year’s Rewind Awards — the mix of hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally questionable honors that define the TPL spirit. These categories include some returns from last year (Bear of the Year, Most Likely to be Stoned) and some newbies (Most Likely to be in the Den, Billiards Underdog of the Year). This is fun, lighthearted and great  way to celebrate our community!

What Are the Ranger Alli Rewind Awards?

The Ranger Alli Rewind Awards are a community celebration honoring the people and moments that make Twin Ponds Lodge more than a campground — it’s a chosen family. These awards spotlight the humor, heart, and humanity of queer outdoor life in Maine and beyond. Each nomination is a chance to celebrate friendship, authenticity, and the chaotic joy that defines life at TPL. From potluck heroes to dance floor icons, we’re recognizing the folks who make every weekend a story worth retelling.
