Join us on our beautiful home base of Vashon Island for the second annual Localize this! Creative Tactics for Land and Sea Artful Action Camp. We had such a great time last year that we want to host another gathering of committed action oriented activists. The beautiful old farm setting is within walking distance of the beach where we hold water-based trainings on Puget Sound for participants. We'll organize the kitchen and everyone pitches in with camp chores. There are enough tent sites for hundreds, but we hope that 75-150 of our movement's finest will make this part of their summer plans. For those who cannot attend the entire week, Please REGISTER TODAY and indicate which days you plan to be there. Forward Together! Check out the media coverage of last year's camp:

This camp is made possible by a generous grant from the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Last year's camp was our "800lb. Gorilla" in a fight to save our island from being defiled by an industrial gravel mine. We're winning that fight, and ready for the next. See the King 5 News feature "Showdown at the Shore" video of last year's effort. The above slideshow shows a variety of the tactics that we and our friends have used over the last few years. More shots from last year's camp.
