Batsquatch Festival Table

Come join The Mission Continues, Rogue and REI at the first-ever Batsquatch Festival benefiting CAMP UKANDU! The mission of UKANDU is to bring joy, hope, and connection to communities impacted by childhood and adolescent cancer. Camp Ukandu recognize that cancer impacts the entire family and aim to provide parents and caregivers a respite from the physical, emotional and financial toll childhood cancer poses to families. Currently, each year, Camp Ukandu serves roughly 132 children. Our campers are patients, and siblings of patients, ages 8–18. In these formative years, “normal” childhood development is a challenge. School studies, making friends, trying out for sports teams, joining activity groups and other clubs - these are some of the many ways most children seek to determine where they belong in “normal” society. But if you’re a 14 year old bald girl, or when you’re an 8 year old boy who can’t throw a baseball, fitting in can be even more challenging. Camp Ukandu provides a setting in which being bald or having missing limbs is completely unremarkable. They offer a community where patients relate to each other’s stories, to their fears and to their pain. Most importantly, this community of children share their hopes and dreams and remind each other that life’s goals and inspiration are still theirs for the taking. We will have an informational table at this event and will also be celebrating the launch of REI's Camp Monsters podcast and, of course, enjoying Batsquatch beer. Pair your Batsquatch brew with our camp themed menu and enjoy activities including axe throwing, s'more eating, grooving to Pagan Jug Band, face painting, and more. This event is family-friendly and dog-friendly.
