This year many of those groups will return, joining with new ones to make this the biggest year ever for the OE program. The list of participating groups include: Korean Youth and Community Center, Watts Labor Community Action Committee, Los Angeles Conservation Corps, Mothers of East Los Angeles--Santa Isabel, ExPERT, ADRO Environmental, Adventure Camp USA, Iglesia Poder de Dios, and the Asian American Drug Abuse Program.

OE leaders Mike Klapp and Matt Moule will be returning to lead the groups through another exciting summer of camping, hiking, canoeing, and educational programs that give Southern California inner-city youth an opportunity to explore a world beyond Los Angeles.
