🏕️ FBC.PDX CAMPOUT 🏕️
Join us July 21–23 at Milo McIver State Park for FBC.PDX's first community campout!
New to camping? Haven't been in years? No problem. This gathering is intentionally beginner-friendly and community-oriented. You don't need to be an experienced birder or camper to join us.
Come for the birding, the campfire conversations, the river, the quiet nature time—or simply the chance to spend a couple of days outdoors with community. Participate as much or as little as feels right for you.
This event centers queer, trans, disabled, neurodivergent, BIPOC, and allied community members and welcomes people of all birding experience levels.
This isn't a heavily scheduled event—it's a chance to spend time outdoors with community. We'll have some casual birding, optional activities, campfire hangs, and plenty of time to explore, rest, socialize, or simply enjoy being outside.
✨ Expect:
🌿 casual birding
🔥 campfire hangs
🪑 lots of unstructured time
🏞️ river and forest access
💚 community care and connection
🐦 birds like Osprey, Bald Eagle, Belted Kingfisher, Great Blue Heron, waxwings, woodpeckers, flycatchers, and more
