About
Fri. September 4 - Mon. September 7
Visit Camp Hancock and create memories that will last a lifetime. The weekend is full of guided exploration in and around the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Activities, rest time, and evening programs are offered each full day. We’re excited for our Rockhound volunteers to join in and open the lapidary shop! You can learn more about the Thunderegg (Oregon’s state rock) and make a cabochon (stones shaped and polished for jewelry).
Arrival day is low-key: travel to camp at your leisure; check in when you arrive. Move in to your cabin, sign up for activities, enjoy a snack, and relax around the campfire. We serve family-style meals, packed lunch, and snacks. Activities are led by OMSI staff or volunteers. There's something for everyone out here, and we're excited to show you around!
