Cancelled - Northwest 2021 Sectional

After much discussion and prayer, our NW Sectional committee has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Sectional Event. It was planned for March 1-2, 2021. It is a disappointment for all of us, and we did not make this decision lightly.

Our hope was to provide an in-person gathering for our sectional this year. Unfortunately, due to the COVID issues that still exist in Oregon and Washington we don’t feel it is prudent at this time to proceed with our planning.

We understand that more than ever there is a need within our Section to connect with other camp people. Camp people need camp too. So we encourage you to reach out to those camp people close to you. Perhaps you are in the position that you could host a small gathering in your home or at your camp for fellow camp people. Imagine the possibilities of small pop up sectional gatherings all over our two states. Camp people gathered together for; time in God’s Word, good food, worship and fellowship. I have no doubt you could probably make this happen in your corner of the world. And… if you end up hosting a pop-up Sectional Gathering, we would love to hear about it.

We want to protect the integrity and unity of our Sectional gatherings. We are a strong Section filled with creative, resilient and dedicated camp professionals. Our gatherings have always reflected that. Our committee will continue to explore ways to help us connect with each other until we can all have the opportunity to gather in person again.

If you need help connecting with other camp people please, reach out to

Section President Jane Schmidt

or any other committee member.
