Conference Venue

The conference will take place at Camp Delany, a facility within Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park, near Coulee City, WA. This site is located within the plunge pool of the Grand Coulee cataract complex carved by the Missoula floods, providing a stunning location for inspiring conference discussion and a central location for field excursions.
