The AMC's
August Camp changes its location each year to take advantage of hiking and canoeing opportunities throughout North America. Recent sites have included: Central Cascades in Oregon, Yellowstone vicinity of Wyoming; High Sierras in California; North Cascades in Washington, Mt. Rainier in Washington.
In 2010, August Camp will be in the Canadian Rockies. Our base camp will be at the Beaverfoot Lodge campground in the Beaverfoot Valley, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Our location is between Field and Golden, British Columbia and is bordered by Yoho and Kootenay National Parks. Our activities will take us to Yoho, Banff, Kootenay, Glacier and Jasper National Parks with their snowcapped mountains, vast glaciers and ice fields, turquoise lakes, thundering waterfalls, wildflowers, hot springs and fossil beds.
An intimate tent village for 64 adult campers, August Camp offers multiple hikes each day for all levels of ability. Car camping and backpacking, sightseeing excursions, 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.
