End of an Era

This week marked the completion of the last session of America’s Camp, a program I’ve been involved with since 2005.



I’ve written about what America’s Camp has meant to me in Portland Magazine and at Alaska Dispatch. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’m more proud of anything else I’ve ever been involved with. So far, the media that visited camp during our last week have chosen to dwell on the end of camp, but those of us who were there know that while we won’t be together at camp again like we have been, we’ll always be connected — and we made something wonderful out of something terrible.
