Ft. Klamath, Oregon

Price: TBD

Facility: West Coast Mushing Boot Camp moves location to Crystalwood Lodge, just outside Ft. Klamath, OR and in the heart of the Winema National Forest. The Lodge features 7 guest rooms of various sizes, all with private baths. Additionally for Boot Camp participants, a few "dry camping" spots for parking RVs or tent camping are available. All meals and lodging are provided from dinner the evening before camp starts through lunch the last day of camp - our Lodge staff will take care of you so that you can concentrate on training your dogs. Additionally, this provides for access to all guest amenities, trails on and off property, agility equipment, dog washing facility, meeting spaces in the Lodge Great Room and Doghouse, and use of our outdoor hot tub (which you'll really appreciate after a training run!).

The Pull Training Clinics will use the same facilities, equipment and trails on property as the Mushing Boot Camp participants . Included meals are a continental breakfast, hot lunch, and refreshments the day of the Clinic.

It is possible to arrange for staying extra nights either before or after Camp or Pull Training. It is also possible for a few extra team/family members to be accommodated, as well as dry camping for a few participants. Please contact Liz Parrish for details and costs.

Trails: We have approx. 5+ miles of trails on property, which are a combination of forest trails, dirt and gravel roads, meadows, and marsh. The trails have numerous intersections for lots of command and directional work. The trails can be WET…be sure to bring mud boots! Off property we have access to select National Forest trails which can be utilized if the group needs dictate - some of which are challenging hills, others are rolling and scenic.

Weather: Can be just about anything this time of year. Everyone around here complains that "winter lingers" so guaranteed it will be great training weather! We could have days in the 70s…or snow…or both within the timeframe of a single Camp. So literally come prepared for any and all weather conditions. Most likely we will have days in the 40s-60s, and nights in the 30s - having said that probably guarantee s something different! We tend to have prevailing westerlies in the afternoons, and the Lodge can get QUITE windy, so be ready and able to tie things down if need be.

Timing: You should plan to arrive at Crystalwood Lodge the evening before your camp begins. Shoot for sometime between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. if possible. We'll get together with Jamie and Ann for dinner the evening before the first day to plan when and where to gather for our morning run. They will be around at that time to answer questions and talk about what to expect the next day. Camp doesn't officially start until early the next morning, but give yourself as much time as you can to get yourself and your dogs settled and find out what the plan is for getting started in the morning. We will start EARLY the first morning!
Pull Training Clinic Participants are welcome to stay at the Lodge or in the area the night before or after the Clinic for a nominal additional charge. Please make travel and lodging arrangements so that you will be on-site at the Lodge by 8:30am the morning of your clinic, with your dog and ready to check in and get started.
