Bing Canyon Pioneer Camp (BCPC), supported by AgriNorthwest, a large irrigated farm near Plymouth, Washington, offers a site where stake and ward groups can conduct 3 or 4 day youth pioneer treks. The terrain for the trek is rolling hills and small canyons, and the vegetation is prairie grass and low shrubs. Elevation of the ranch ranges from 500 to 1,000 feet. Groups can pull handcarts over approximately 18 miles of cross country routes.

BCPC supplies the groups with handcarts and a water trailer. Portable toilets will be placed at convenient locations along your route. BCPC coordinators also provide guidance in planning and training leaders. Full time Farm Reserve Missionaries serve as Managing Coordinators. Individual groups provide their own leadership, itinerary, medical staff, and food.
There is a $15 charge per person for handcart and site maintenance.
With its mild climate and low altitude, BCPC can accommodate treks and stakes, wards, Boy Scouts, and other authorized organizations any time of year. Trek routes are designed around eight service sites, approximately three miles apart, consisting of four trailer mounted porta-potties and 150 gallons of potable water. Routes are flexible between these sites. Detailed information about each site, as well as polices and planning information can be found in the
Handbook for Trek Leaders.
