Episode 85 | Opal's Walk for Freedom with Christen Peterson

In this episode of CampWire, we talk with Christen Peterson, ACA’s director of inclusion and belonging, about Ms. Opal Lee—known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth—and her inspiring movement, Opal’s Walk for Freedom. Learn how camps can honor her legacy, engage their communities, and take steps toward a more inclusive future.

Join us as we explore how a single walk became a national movement—and how your camp can be part of it.
