What: A Springtime opportunity for all to connect with community and Creation. You could hike, forage, birdwatch, ride your bike, engage with our prescribed fire sites, lounge in a hammock, play games or sports, work on a craft project, or just BE. Invite your family and friends or make new friends here!
​
Who: All ages and experience levels welcome!!
​
Biking: This is a great way to explore the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and back roads in the Cascade foothills around Camp CAMREC. Our experienced bikers will help individuals or groups map out routes of various levels. Whether you are a leisurely bike rider or a more competitive one, there will be several route options for you!
​
At 2500′ elevation and plenty of hills to climb, Camp CAMREC is a great base camp to kick your bike fitness into high gear in preparation for any planned summer rides/tours.
​
We suggest you bring bikes with at least 32mm width tires (38mm+ better) to allow the freedom to roam and explore the back roads.
