Basecamp 2024 Conference and Workshop

Science, Planning, and Management for Outdoor Recreation & Gateway Communities

Basecamp is a regional conference and workshop focused on sharing ideas and collaboratively creating a path forward for outdoor recreation management and gateway community planning in the American West.

The gathering offers an opportunity to share new insights into how to improve outdoor recreation opportunities and protect the communities that enable them. It also includes dedicated workshop sessions for collaboratively addressing existing and emerging challenges faced by outdoor recreation managers, gateway community leaders, state and local officials, and others who value outdoor recreation in the West.

For 2024, we will be convening in Moab, Utah. One of the world's foremost outdoor recreation destinations and gateway communities.
