As we enter 2026, we do so with honesty and hope.

Due to limited funding and capacity at this time, Ayandeh will not be able to host our traditional overnight camp this summer, 2026. This was an incredibly difficult decision as camp has always been a space of belonging, cultural pride, and lifelong connection for our youth and families.

But we want to be clear: Ayandeh is not going anywhere!

We believe our camp and community are needed now more than ever. This pause is a recalibration. A time to strengthen our foundation so that our camp can return sustainable, resilient, and stronger than ever. We are actively focusing on rebuilding capacity, deepening partnerships, and developing funding strategies that will allow us to not only bring back overnight camp, but expand our programming for youth, families, and adults across our community.

Ayandeh means “future.” And together, we are still building it.
