We are excited to be hosting the campout in person again this year, but in order to do so safely, we ask that each and every individual read and sign our Participant Agreement and Covid Release Form online before registering for the event. Parents and Guardians of minors will need to fill out the two forms for any participant under the age of 18 years old. If we do not receive your signed forms by the time the registration form closes on July 25th, you will not be considered a registered attendee and not allowed to participate in the campout. We take the wellbeing of our community, staff, and campout caterers very seriously. The Grand Canyon Wolf Recovery Project is a very small organization, with limited staff capacity, so we ask that all participants will voluntarily assist with enhanced santitation of shared spaces and mask wearing in enclosed congregated spaces in order to make this event a safe and fun weekend for everyone.

More detailed directions to the group camp site and the weekend agenda will be emailed to you a few days before the event.
We look forward to seeing you on July 29 - 31, 2022 at Big Lake!

Echo
"because she came back to the Grand Canyon like an Echo does"

Echo is the name given to a 3 year old, female Northern gray wolf who traveled hundreds of miles from the area where she was captured and collared near Cody, Wyoming, to the North Kaibab Plateau by the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. She was sighted by many lucky residents, Grand Canyon National Park staff, and tourists visiting the area in northern Arizona where she roamed in October and November 2014. She had made an incredible dispersal journey, likely in search of a mate and a territory to call her own. But she was the first, and only wolf to be in that part of Arizona in over 70 years, so she traveled on, and met her tragic fate by the bullet from a hunter's gun near Beaver, Utah, on December 28, 2014.

Echo's story was an inspiration for us all. She came to the excellent wolf habitat of the Grand Canyon region, and hopefully marked a trail for other dispersing wolves to follow. This page is a dedication to her memory, and a tribute to her life.
