This is some super exciting news..! The two amazing folks in this pic with our director Nora are Toby and Martine. Campers and staff from our California session 2 summers ago will remember them. They filmed the whole week with plans to make a documentary of their experience, and guess what! It’s almost done!! They are going to be launching a crowdfunding campaign to fund the last parts of completing it and hope to have it complete and ready to be shown by the end of the year!!! We will keep you posted and are so honored and excited to see and share this film! 🎬🎥🤩 https://www.instagram.com/p/BusTlLtDAw6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zbf8m5eova1x

Had a great YEA Camp staff retreat in LA this weekend, bringing together staff from around the country to delve into ways we can make YEA Camp better. Thank you to Yotam and @wildfireproject for facilitating the conversation and all the staff who attended or gave valuable input to contribute to our work. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUmizJDQT4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j342sngrk5e6

On this day meant to celebrate love, we remember the students who lost their lives in the #parkland shooting a year ago today. We also honor the courageous students and families who used this tragedy as an opportunity to advocate for safer communities and to prevent future shootings. Sometimes it is those who have suffered the deepest tragedies who can make the biggest difference. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3qmCsDMAT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mvilufsh015

As a nonprofit we do not endorse or take a position on any candidate running for any office. But until she is old enough to run and declares herself a candidate, we can root for 16-year-old YEA Camper Emily and all of our other campers engaged in the political process! It seems like current candidates are already impressed! ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXBt1jjDx2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrodlhhgunno

How in 2019 is there still so much ignorance, hatred, violence? Here’s to everyone who looks out for others, who speaks up for who they are, who uses their voice and time and actions to advocate for equality and justice and love. #noh8 #jussiesmollett https://www.instagram.com/p/BtPl-UjjtiO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ogz35amyi1np

This day to honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspirational life and vision can be summed up in so many ways. One is the most basic challenge that we look for ways to contribute to others. Whether you are volunteering or doing some form of activism today, or can take some time on a day off to reflect on how we can help make the world better, Dr. King’s compassion, courage, dedication, eloquence, and vision for the future is a needed reminder and motivator for all of us to do more to make our world a better place and to help manifest his dream. #martinlutherkingjr #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingday #mlk #mlkday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs6cB6DjkHY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lku9mq0lprli

Another YEA Camper out marching this weekend at the #womensmarch in DC. Love Ana’s sign: “When injustice becomes law, speaking out becomes duty” — and her shirt too: “She believed she could so she did.” ❤️ #thefutureisfemale https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs5bR5YDKkg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xs8dvkfhz703

Another one of our campers at a #womensmarch today! Go Emily!

YEA Camp’s 10 Year Challenge!! Top left was in 2009 at our first ever session, our pilot program for 15 campers and 7 staff for 5 days/4 nights in Santa Cruz, CA. We were small, but that session was amazing and led the groundwork for the decade since! The other 3 pics are from our 3 sessions this past summer. I think we’ve aged pretty well! ❤️ #10yearchallenge #10yearschallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoWsmjj7zg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w1lb5osns19s
