Honor Someone by Supporting the Encampment's Work with Young Activists
What’s our role in making sure we have a living democracy in our future?
One answer to this question is to invest in the development of youth activists by donating to the Encampment. Each year we fund young people whose families cannot afford the full program fee. That’s how we fund diversity of leadership now and for the future. We depend on individual donations to do this — your support makes this possible! This page is dedicated to all the people, past and present, who inspire us. We’ve given some suggestions below but the basic idea is to honor someone by donating to the Encampment.

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.
