Camping, Lodging, & Amenities
Our home base for the weekend will be Millersylvania State Park just south of Olympia, Washington. Lodging and camping costs are not included in the registration fee for this event. Participants are invited to stay at Millersylvania State Park and camp, or find their own lodging and accommodations for the duration of the weekend.
Locations
We are currently scouting and making arrangements for locations to support our evaluation questions throughout the weekend. It is likely that the group will use several sites, ranging from the incredible endangered Oak Prairie habitats, upland Douglas Fir forests, and riverside corridors. The goal is for these target locations to be within 45 minutes of driving distance from our home base at Millersylvania State Park.
