Videos Of Alums Talking About Their EFC Experiences

Alumni Experiences Videos (1940-present)

In the summer of 2021, in honor of the 75th anniversary of EFC’s founding, we brought alums together by decade groups. They participated in Zoom meetings, shared their memories of the EFC and how that experience changed them and influenced their lives. These videos show excerpts from these meetings along with excerpts from several recorded interviews from recent years. Visit our Alum Stories page to view.

At the Encampment, we created community …

We Encampers come together as a community. We bring our ideas together and form our own government and try to connect with each other. We bring diversity together and learn about each other’s cultures. You learn about other people’s struggles. African-American, Latino, Native American, Caucasia —you are not the only one who is going through something. EFC challenges your mind. You have to look at your opinion and why you have it. You think of ways you want to change your community. It’s a whole new world.
