Jacque: Bringing everyone together from all regions of this beautiful state!
Eliot: I'm excited about gathering for Camp! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone in person, being in the buzz of imagining what's possible...and sharing food!
Wendy: I am so excited for this community to forge stronger and deeper ties as we plant the seeds for a more just and joyful future.
Roz: Seeing students engage and come together in finding solutions to today's social, economic and environmental issues.

Roz: We live in a small coastal town where neighbors care and look out for one another.
Sarah: I love the block where my family lives. Our neighbors look out for each, hold celebrations together, and always find things to laugh about with each other.
Tiff: I live in Beaverton, Oregon and what I love about my community is the diversity in my neighborhood. It's reflected in the food options around the block, my neighbors who I see are from different parts of the world, different generations and the spaces that encourage the diversity from the parks and the libraries.
Jacque: Natural beauty -- rivers, lakes, ocean, streams, rainfall, and everything those water systems are connected to.
Eliot: I love mountains! From my road I can see the High Siskiyous in northern California. I love watching them gather snow in the winter.
Wendy: The McKenzie River, especially around Eagle Rockock.
