“We were born in the wilderness with the
animals. So why can’t we live in harmony with
them again. Why can’t our technology be used
in harmony with the world and the animals.
What reason do we have to destroy the world
along with the animals. The world created us
so why do we still continue to destroy it.”

Janeen
CELP has been a journey, from the moment I
walked in to the few hours when I walk out.
Everyday was different, never the same. I can
honestly say CELP has helped me grow.

Nikita
CELP to me is the biggest life changing
experience ever. I’ve discovered myself and
what to do with my life. I belong.

Ahren

Why do humans only find beauty in things that
are new and shining, and not in things that are
old and rusting?

Douglas

Even through the good times and bad times
you can always find solace at CELP and at
Edgewood. With all the friends and places to
go and things to do. The music, the
conversation, the exploring, the learning. I
guess sometimes that’s all you really need.

CELP is one of the hardest experiences I’ve been
through, but it’s one that I will take with me
forever, and grow from.

Stephanie

CELP for me has been the most amazing
experience. I walked in the door knowing no
one except the people from my school and now
walk out with not just my new friends but
family.

Nive
All education is being sought, but love and
tolerance cannot be taught

CELP is my home away from home. It’s a break
from the reality is life.


When it was us against the elements, I learned
what community was.

Elizabeth

If life was a book, then CELP would be my
favourite part so far! It’s so hard for me to
realize that the best 5 months are ending so
soon. But honestly, this isn’t the end, but the
beginning of a new chapter! I love y’all and
will never ever ever forget you guys. Peace
out!

“Life is like the canoe trip; except you don’t
know where you’re going, so shut up and
enjoy the view.”

Maryn

I never thought I would see such a large group
of people come together with such strength in
such a short period in time. Everyone I have
met during this incredible experience has their
own special and permanent place in my heart.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of it!

In CELP, I learned who I truly was.
Now, I’ve learned who I truly want to be.

And in that
moment,
I swear we were
