We're likely headed to Mt. Hood National Forest for a few days to have that inspiring outdoor experience in God's Country, PNW, though consideration is also being given to a backpacking trip to the Enchanted Valley in the Olympic National Park*. Two adjacent campsites (one group, one regular) for tents and RV's have been reserved for a few days, Camp Creek 19 and 20. Permits cover a maximum of 16 people and six cars or RV's. Hotels and short term home rentals are also available in Government Camp, which is 7 miles away from campground on Hwy 26. Daytime activity opportunities include visits to the mountain's top ranked day hikes (AllTrails.com), via our cars. We have one Northwest Forest Pass and one America the Beautiful Pass if forest passes are required. Evening campfire activities include Vespers, Sing-A-Longs and Skits 1, 2, 3. Depending on NPS fire policy at the time, we'll either have a real or imitation campfire. If you'd like to come, email us for dates at bna@bnaprayergroup.org. BNA is only providing the camp reservation. Participants are fully responsible to provide for all of their camping needs and to direct all of their recreational activities. Minor children must be accompanied by responsible adults. Donations accepted to cover the cost of the campgrounds, which is $50/$25 (group/regular) per day, per camp site. *There's also a small possibility that we'll instead use reservations we have for two tent campsites at Ainsworth Campground in the Gorge. We'll know for sure in June.
