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. It also offers a large campground where families or other groups can camp. This campground is usually scheduled for the last night of a trek. The terrain for the trek is rolling hills and small canyons, and the vegetation is prairie grass and low shrubs. There is a large pond midway along the trek that can be used to raft handcarts across. Elevation of the ranch ranges from 500 to 1,000 feet. Groups can pull handcarts over approximately 20 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. Two missionary couples serve as coordinators. Individual groups provide their own leadership, itinerary, medical staff, and food.
With its mild climate and low altitude, BCPC can accommodate treks and/or campers nearly any time of year. There are suggested trek routes, but leaders are free to modify these to meet their specific needs.
