THE GORGE — For the first year ever, the nonprofit group Confluence hosted a children’s educational camp to bring indigenous cultures to a wider audience. The camp offered two one-week programs that involved about 40 campers total and were funded by the No Child Left Inside two-year grant through the Washington State Parks System, managed by the Recreation and Conservation Office.

This Washington grant program was created to get more kids outside and into parks.
