🏕️Escape from the Bay: Ave of the Giants & Fern Canyon Camping Trip🌳

Please waitlist yourself first. You will be manually moved over to Going once your deposit for your campsite spot is confirmed.

Ready for a weekend exploring the towering ancient redwoods and winding, lush canyon trail? Join us for a Northern California camping adventure as we explore two of the region’s most stunning natural wonders: Avenue of the Giants and Fern Canyon!

Whether you’re here for the breathtaking scenery and hikes, the camping experience, or simply the chance to meet new people and enjoy the outdoors, this trip is all about exploring, unwinding, and making memories together. Expect fresh air, beautiful trails, good company, and some laughs around the campfire~

The Plan
* Friday: Drive up from the Bay Area and set up camp. Leave around 2-4p is ideal, 5p at the latest (imo).
* Saturday: Visit Fern Canyon, scenic locales, and nearby trails.
* Sunday: Explore Avenue of the Giants before heading back to the Bay Area.

A Few Things to Know
* This is a tent-camping trip, so please bring your own camping essentials. I do have some extra gear such as tents that I can loan out. You can also rent from Sports Basement as well if you do not have your own gear.
* We’ll coordinate carpools as there are limited parking spots at the campsite.
* The itinerary is flexible and may change depending on weather, road conditions, and group logistics/preferences.
* There will be a pre-trip meet & greet/q&a arranged if requested where you can meet some fellow campers and ask any last-minute prep questions for the trip. I want everyone to feel at ease, welcomed, and well-prepared for the trip. 😊

To confirm your spot, please send a $35 deposit to @echoechoechooo on Venmo. This will cover 2 nights of camping and campsite parking. If your plans change last minute, you will be refunded the entire deposit if you are able to find someone to take your place. In the event you sent your deposit and we exceed capacity, you will be refunded as well. If you plan on adding a guest to your rsvp, their deposit must also be covered.

If you plan to be a carpool driver, you will be prioritized.
