Camp Currie
- Status
- Funded in 1999
This project involves the acquisition of 85 acres at the north end of Lacamas Lake in southeast Clark County. The current owner, a major timber company, has leased the site to a nonprofit organization for a group camp for over 50 years. Because the timber company has declared the property surplus, the camp’s continuation is highly threatened. Camp Currie provides the only active day-use/overnight group camping facility in Clark County, and serves thousands of children each year. This project will protect and preserve the camping opportunities, as well as expand recreational use of the site. Adjoining properties include 164 acres owned by the Columbia Land Trust. In addition, Lacamas Heritage Trail, a 3-mile regional trail system, is located immediately west of the site. There is extensive media coverage and public support for this project.
Location
From Camas, drive north on SR-503. turn left on Leadbetter Road on the north side of Lacamas Lake. The entrance to Camp Currie is located at the intersection of Leadbetter Road and 232nd Avenue
