Portland - Oregon
​
​
With art, movement, music, writing, acting, discussion, and nature available to us all for cheap or free, our goal is model how these types of experiences offered at camp are always within reach.
Our hope is to broaden horizons - no experience or skill level is expected, just an open mind! We also honor that every activity offered might not be each person's cup of tea and offer the space for any individual to opt to sit back and observe as a form of participation.
​
With social needs of our campers also in mind, time is set aside each day for just relaxing, talking, hanging out and enjoying summer.
​
In this camp, we offer a variety of creative experiences to empower folx to find joy and meaning in daily life.
