We are thrilled to share some exciting news that marks a bold new chapter in the Camp Puzzle Peace journey. After months of thoughtful reflection, listening and collaboration, we are proud to unveil our organization’s new name, visual identity, and mission. This rebranding is more than a fresh look—it’s a renewed commitment to the people we serve and the values that guide us.
Our new name, EVERY TREE, reflects the strength, dignity, and potential of people with disabilities and their families. It honors our history while embracing a future of innovation and empowerment.
