As you read this, you will likely get really jealous you did not attend this camp as a kid, or now. I know I have in working with them the last few months. Don't Fret!! they have adult programs too! My story of ROP is much more personal. Through an amazing gift of scholarship and some pretty amazing yelpers who volunteered their wallets and yards (for slave labor--props to Wil L , Dawn R, Jim C) and donated equipment (props to Don L), my three youngest children were able to attend summer camp adventures through ROP this year. The staff at ROP is, literally and without exaggeration; amazing. They are passionate, committed, helpful, and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Jason, Darcy, Julie, Drue, Emily, and the other mentors who accompanied my kids on their various adventures. The first to go was Selena, on her Call to Adventure. On drop off day, gathered in a circle, playing quick "get to know you" games, the mentors of ROP discuss with the children what a "call" is, and what is a "hero"? At the appropriate time, goodbye is made a little easier as the kids hear their mentors "calling" (as in howling, clapping, cheering and banging drums) from the woods and excitedly go running off to find them (parents, exit stage left). A week later, Selena returned FULL of excitement, stories of her adventures and already EAGER to attend next year. Junior was next, on his Apprenticeship journey. For the younger kids, the send off allowed much more "mommy tear up" time. During the send off circle, we were given small pieces of wood, planed thin in the middle. Junior wrote his name on one side, and the names of all the people he was leaving behind (mom, sisters, brothers, grandma) on the other. We then snapped it in two, me taking the Junior side, him taking the family side and tying it to the walking stick provided by ROP. So he could take his family "with" him on his journey. Finally, this last Sunday, the most difficult for me. Sending Michelle off on her 3 week Coming of Age trip. Designed for the difficult late tween and early teen years. The send off here was out of this world amazing. For 3 1/2 hours we did gear check, get to know you circles, then..the good stuff. First, the parents made plaster casts of their children's faces-masks- for their trip. The kids will decorate them with things of their childhood. Then while out on the trip, fill them with plaster to make a sculpture of their face. During a ceremony they will "shed" their childhood and through the masks into the fire together. Then decorate the new solid sculpture mask, not as children, but as youth and who they want to be for their future. At goodbye time, we held red ribbons between us as we talked and said goodbye. The mentors, now dressed like Ravens, came whooping and howling out of the woods and cut the ribbons in two and carried off the children...not to be seen again until they are "grown" from their journey. It is hard not to worry how my kids would do, this was no "pillow fights in a cabin" summer camp. This was back country back packing slogging everything you had and needed on your back. This was REAL hiking, camping and learning time. Knowing they are in the loving, capable hands of the ROP staff, made my fears turn from worry to excitement. In me, they have made a fan for life.

Volunteer home bakers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California create baked goods twice a month, delivering them to neighborhood hubs that serve as collection points. Community Loaves takes it from there, getting the bread to local food banks. They also provide the recipes and training, ensuring that the bread produced is consistent and meets their nutritional goals. Packaging is distributed to the bakers by the hubs, and some ingredients can be purchased directly from the hubs as well. Community Loaves provides a wonderful link, making sure that the products of local bakers go directly to address the issue of food insecurity in their communities.
