Dear Eureka Institute supporters,

​

I want to thank everyone who has supported our efforts to promote lifelong learning by bringing educational and recreational programming to our community over the years. It is with a heavy heart that I share we will be closing our doors and putting our organization to rest. Including the 16 years of running Camp Eureka before the Eureka Institute's formation in 2011, it’s been nearly 25 years of service—a remarkable journey! However, a minor insurance claim, along with my personal calling to a new chapter, has brought us to this difficult decision.

​

We are proud of the events and programs we’ve provided, from Sandpoint SummerFest and Northwest Yoga Feast to offering gathering spaces for camps, weddings, and other events. Our Construction Basics Initiative introduced hundreds of at-risk youth to the construction industry while completing valuable community service projects and more.

​

To our local and regional supporters—volunteers, foundations, and donors—your contributions made our work possible. We couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!

​

With that said, we are currently working to find a new home for some of our premier events, Northwest Yoga Feast and Sandpoint SummerFest. If anyone has ideas or leads on suitable locations, please let us know; who knows, maybe some traditions can continue.

​

On a personal note, my bones are feeling their age, our family is growing with the arrival of our first grandchild, special people have entered my life (!), and perhaps it’s just a call to the wild! It’s been a beautiful, life-changing journey, and I’m incredibly grateful to this Eureka community.

​

Blessings and peace to all,
Steve Holt
