August Camp
Intro
While the Young Members committee is not a sponsor of August Camp, we wanted to help get the word out about another hiking opportunity provided by the AMC. And, one of our own YM Leaders, Michele Grzenda, will be helping to lead August Camp this year!
The 2009 August Camp will be in the Central Cascades of Oregon. Base camp will be set up in the Willamette National Forest near Santiam Pass (elevation 4800 ft) where the Pacific Crest Trail traverses Route 20. Enjoy views of the volcanic horns of Three Fingered Jack to the north, Mount Washington to the south as well as smaller volcanic features near the summit of the pass.
An intimate tent village for 64 adult campers, August Camp offers multiple hikes each day for all levels of ability. Car camping, sightseeing excursions, mountain biking, river rafting, canoeing and kayaking are also available. Delicious cooked meals and trail lunches are provided; great camaraderie and nightly campfires make for a memorable experience.
