The focus is on clearing brush along the trail, and will likely have heavy power tools. Please note, for this event we are not allowing dogs. Families and children over 8 years old are welcome.

On Friday night, volunteers who would like to run to the camp and trail work site will have the option to drop off camping and overnight equipment in Ojai where one of our staff will shuttle your equipment to the campsite by Saturday morning.

A run will happen Saturday morning and Sunday evening after the trail work, approximately 6-7 miles each way.

For those not wishing to run, you are welcome to grab a shuttle to the campsite at 7:45am or drive to the site (34°30'00.3"N 119°07'15.2"W). Please note the Elder Camp site can only fit 10 cars and requires high clearance AWD/4WD. It is highly recommended people carpool from Rose Valley Campground.
