Camp activities

Daily disinfecting of gear is required to preserve our canyons from pests! 

• We will provide four (4) gear cleaning stations with at least one at Campsite A-24 and others strategically placed around the campground.  

• We are making it easy for you by providing all of the cleaning equipment and supplies, supported by the Washington Canyon Coalition.  

• It is critical to thoroughly check, clean (and ideally dry) your gear in between canyons to prevent the spread of invasive species.  

Why is this required?

• In the PNW, we have some canyons that are overrun with invasives (e.g., Davis) and other canyons that are completely pristine (e.g., Olallie) – and we are running trips through both this weekend.  

• A cautionary lesson can be learned from New Zealand’s experience with didymo, an fast-spreading invasive algae that went from initial discovery to ruining canyons within just 6 years.
