About Caldera: Caldera is a non-profit that was founded in 1996 by Dan Wieden and his family to give back to young people and artists. Today, their nationally recognized programs reach roughly 400 young learners and 30 artists each year. Caldera’s mission is to inspire and support youth from underserved rural and urban communities by awakening the potential of their creative voice. The vision is to give every young person unfettered access to the explosive power of creativity so they can make the world a better place.

Project Goal: Caldera is located on Blue Lake, a stunning piece of landscape that sits just west of Suttle Lake. Part of Caldera’s ability to fund programs year-round comes from a unique lodging experience they offer at Blue Lake. For our partner volunteer project, we will be aiding in trail and brush clean up, taking down tents, bed frames, and other furniture for the coming winter season. Alongside the clean up effort, Wanderlust will lead a short hike in this stunning area and we will cap off our time at Blue Lake with a well earned refreshment!
