The Magic of Community

The 10th Annual Kahtoola Uphill - Flagstaff Event Film

Last month’s Kahtoola Uphill event felt like a big, fun party. Community members had gathered and were having fun as they cheered on the runners. However, when I stepped back I realized this was, truly, all for the future of society and I was struck by the magic of community. Although everyone was enjoying their time, the runners were ultimately supporting Camp Colton, which supports environmental education in Flagstaff. It's important that students get the opportunity to learn about the environment, to connect to nature, and grow in new ways, especially for them to grow into caring citizens. And I think that's the real reason everyone comes out to the Kahtoola Uphill, not for a fun party, but to ensure that more kids have the chance to grow into all their potential as caring and vital citizens of society. I hope you get that sense of community when you watch the video below!
