This activity helps us keep track of who will be joining us in the North Cascades.  Due to the website's technical limitations, you may need to ask course instructors to sign you up for this activity if you've already registered for an activity on Saturday, Sept. 7, or Sunday, Sept. 8 (or vice versa).

We have a group camping area reserved for Friday and Saturday nights at Lower Goodell Group Campground, campsites "A". All course members are welcome to participate; there will be a modest fee (to be paid onsite) to cover the cost of the campsite. Friends and family members are welcome but please note that we probably will not be arranging kid-friendly activities nor offering childcare.

Lower Goodell Group Campground is located at mile marker 120 on State Route 20. From Burlington, WA, drive 60 miles east on State Route 20. From Twisp, WA, drive 82 miles west on State Route 20.
