Hey 18 Odyssey youth and adults came out to support our community at the AIDS walk this September, 2013. As one youth put it, it felt like home seeing all the support. |

This June, Odyssey helped release 41 more youth into the world with knowledge and tools to make our communities a better place to be in, helping to eliminate oppression and exclusion. Camp Odyssey 2012 was a complete success and our hearts are full to know we are carrying forward our mission for Oregon!!
Coming soon... Post-Camp Report.
