How a Girl Scout camp on the Oregon coast connected 3 generations of women

Summer camp can be a special experience for anyone, but there’s something extra special about Camp Cleawox.

On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we talk to Lizzy Acker, features reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive, who recently wrote about her deep relationship with the Oregon coast Girl Scout camp.

Acker, who started going to the camp when she was 8 years old, followed in her mother’s footsteps, learning all about the magic of the camp. Now Acker’s 6-year-old daughter is finding that magic and continuing the tradition for another generation.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:
