Sharon Byrd believes that we are on this human journey to learn to love, and delights in creating the possibility for others to find expanded ways to dive more deeply into the experience of loving.

Compassion Cadre

One of the ways we embody a mutually-supportive and mutually-empowering community is by meeting campers’ needs for emotional and physical support and well-being through the Compassion Cadre. The Cadre is composed of camper volunteers, who are skilled in one or more of the following areas: empathy and peer counseling, mediation, group process facilitation, and bodywork.
