Since then Camp Earth Connection has offered a diversity of programs.
Susan has been designing and implementing environmental programs for youth and adults for over 25 years, always incorporating an anti-biased approach to ensure that programs are as inclusive as possible. It is of utmost importance to Susan that Camp Earth Connection be a safe place for all people from diverse backgrounds.

Susan believes in a Great Spirit that connects all of us to each other and the Earth. She believes that for harmony to exist, that connection must be maintained, and that at this time people need to find more ways to be connected to the Earth and each other. Susan knows that Camp Earth Connection on Hammond Hill is a sacred place that can be healing and energizing to all who spend time there.
