Weekend on the Water 2025
As we work to heal, uplift and reenergize Black, Indigenous, People of Color (Bipoc) members of the community we have again and again turned to discuss one of the greatest sources of renewal, joy and connection with all that exists - nature.
Weekend on the Water was created in response to the great value we see in building opportunities for Bipoc people to engage and explore together in the outdoors. Activities included camping at AMC Echo Lake Camp, kayaking, canoeing, sailing, hiking, fishing, swimming and more!
We know the historical lack of access to beaches and public pools in this country can't be rectified in a weekend. However, we can give an introductory experience and additional long term opportunities in order to reclaim the connection to water that is part of our heritage.
Whether for the weekend or just a day, we hope you'll join us!
Camping at the beautiful AMC Echo Lake Camp is an amazing experience! Enjoy music by the campfire, provided delicious meals, stargazing through telescopes, and spend the night as you make make memories that will last a lifetime.
