Vashon Events is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to building community and supporting artists-musicians on Vashon Island, WA. Our mission is to create, provide, and expand positive life experiences through music and art for all. We provide an information hub for Vashon Island including a business directory, information about events and classes happening on the island, and programs that support arts and local music. We believe that keeping Vashon Island vibrant means supporting our local businesses and artists. Our programming provides critical and unique support for artists and musicians. We also produce concerts and other performing arts events at festivals, showcases, concerts in the park, and venues all over the island. We believe the arts should be accessible to everyone, therefore all our events are free or low-cost. At the same time, at every event we provide, we ensure that musicians and other performers are fairly compensated.

Everyone loves a good story around the campfire. That’s why CCCA loves to tell the powerful stories of campers’ experiences at their member camps and conference centers. They recognize that today’s generation lives in a noisy world constantly bombarded with images and messages that capture their attention and keep them distracted from the things that matter most. CCCA works hard to equip members to provide camp experiences that allow campers to escape their hectic everyday lives, to get a clearer picture of God’s love for them, and discover their purpose and passion through Him. CCCA’s vision is to become an indispensable partner for Christian camps and conference centers across the United States because of the programs, products and services we provide to members. CCCA will be known among all Christian camps and conferences for helping members foster God’s work in guests’ lives.
