“At age 16, at EFC, I was immersed in experiential learning with the widest variety of people with whom I’d ever lived. My consciousness grew exponentially from such exposure and our collective experience. I learned to see the world through others’ views; to consider how others thought; and to expand my ideas for a better, equitable community.” — Carol Shannon Hsu

“A family friend attended the Encampment and said that it was life-changing … After being cooped up in the house because of Covid, I am ready to get out in the world and have my voice heard. What I hope for is to make an impact on the community and be a part of change. I have so much passion inside of me that I want to share it with others.”
Please give generously to support these life-changing conversations and connections.You can help to sponsor a 2022 Encamper and spread the word about the importance of voting with your own VOTE pin!
