For many Obsidians, the high point of the year is the annual Summer Camp, a week long campout with meals provided. The location of past Summer Camps reads like a roster of scenic Northwest America: The Wallowas, the Grand Tetons, the High Sierras, the Sawtooths, the North Cascades, the Strawberries and of course the Oregon Cascades, to name but a few!

Obsidian Summer Camp 2012

Most summers, the Obsidians have an annual outing in an outdoor setting such as a national forest, national park or state park. The location changes every year, but is usually in the Northwest. During the week long camp, there are several hikes per day; depending on the location, there may also be bike rides and/or boating. Non-members are welcome.

The next Summer Camp, Camp Elle, will be near Mt. Baker, Washington, about 40 miles NE of Bellingham from August 18-25, 2012. The Excelsior Group Campground is the same one we used in 2004. The scenery in this area is dominated by Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan and is just spectacular; driving distances to the trailheads are short.
