The Way Back @Central
Author Phil Coffin visits the Library to discuss his new book, The Way Back, about the Berkeley Tuolumne Camp's resurrection after the Rim Fire, it's colorful past and the river that shaped it. Split into three parts, the book shares Phil's experiences as a longtime staffperson at the Camp. In Part I Phil rides his bike from Camp all the way back to Oakland, exploring the natural and built environment of the Tuolumne River watershed. Part II is a collection of reflections on his experience as camp staff in the 1990s, when diversity and creativity inspired a renaissance at Camp.
