Did you spend a summer at the Beach Project? Then we would like to know your memories and stories. Please post your story below.
Hello fellow alumni! I hope we are able to catch up and keep in contact through this site.
If you read, watch or listen to the news today you would not want to get out of bed; it’s mostly bad news. What the OCBP is doing is really great. It’s young people, our very future, doing the right thing without anyone having to tell them what to do. It just does not get any better than that.
The beach project was truly an experience which has influenced every decision I have made there-after. I view my life and my beliefs so much more holistically now than I ever did before. The beach project was an invaluable chance to learn and grow. I can’t recommend it more.
I’m so glad for your continuing work!
My life still bears fruit from the summers of 1985 and 1987, when I served on CCO staff at the OCBP. Though I’d graduated from a Christian college and served in college ministry, EVERYTHING CHANGED living in community, feasting together each night, worshiping God together, asking questions late into the night. The classes were astounding, challenging.
Several of those OCBP students are my closest friends, more than 20 years later. We are still asking questions late into the night, still feasting together when we can, though we live far from one another.
In many ways, OCBP prepared me for the way I live in my tightly-packed urban community, now, for the way I’m involved in my church and how much fun I have with my children. I’m a better student in grad school than I was as an undergrad: I learned how to ask better questions. I can’t recommend it enough.
Hi OCBP folks. 1993 (I think:) Here. Just wanted to leave a note to say that those who were with me that summer and have lost touch might consider looking me up on facebook. I’d love to reconnect with each and every one of you!
Hope life’s been good to y’all.
