Welcome, Amanda and David from the Pride Camping Association!

Join us today as we hear the story of two of the people behind The Pride camping association. Amanda and Davin share their mission, reflect on successes and some hurdles along the road and of course how the pandemic has shifted all of this. Building an organization from the ground up is no easy feat, so grab a cup of coffee or glass of water, get comfy and join us.
