Basecamp Cascadia
Basecamp Cascadia is an outdoor community space for all*. We facilitate wild, immersive adventures of self-discovery in nature, to inspire the next generation of exemplars of environmental care.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Basecamp Cascadia is pausing all on-site programming while we work with the County to demonstrate our eligibility to continue our mission on-site. In the meantime, please check back for updates on off-site programs and subscribe to our newsletter.
How we work
Connect to and share the land. All of our programs include education of the history of our land and meals prepared with local food foraged or farmed in our area.
Collaborate with community. In some cases, we have the skills to facilitate experiences. In other cases, we lack the skills or networks, and we open our space to other like-minded organizations to utilize as their own.
Care for our planet. Each program offers a community science or environmental conservation component. Our goal is for participants to leave Basecamp with deeper knowledge of their connection to our Earth—inspiring them to become exemplars of environmental care in their communities.
Create a physically and emotionally safe space. If you don’t feel safe, you can’t have fun. If you are safe, feel that you belong, connect to the land, and connect with others—joy is inevitable. This ethos enables us to truly welcome diverse audiences, and de-segregate our outdoor spaces.
