Help keep the camps open

These camps belong to all of us, and public voices matter. Here are a few concrete ways to help — pick one and it makes a difference.

The easiest thing you can do

Stay in touch

Leave an email and we'll write when there's news about the camps worth your inbox — season announcements, what we've learned, and the moments when a public voice can help.

Occasional news about the camps — a few emails a year, never shared, unsubscribe anytime.

Step 1

Share your High Sierra Camp story

A night at Vogelsang, a first backpacking trip to May Lake, a family tradition at Merced Lake — personal stories are the most powerful case for keeping these places alive. Nothing is published without your okay.

Step 2

Send a photo

Have photographs from the camps — recent or historical? They help document what's at stake. Please include a caption and who took it. We'll credit you and never use an image without permission.

Step 3

Spread the word

The more people who know the High Sierra Camps are slipping away, the harder they are to lose quietly. Share highcamps.org with fellow Yosemite lovers.

Step 1

Tell us your story

A few sentences or a few paragraphs — whatever the place means to you. Nothing is published without your okay.

May we use your name publicly? *

So we can follow up and confirm before publishing anything.
