What is Fall Lopez?
Fall Lopez is a three day two night camping trip taking the ferry to the best place Lopez Island where campers play games on the beach, go stargazing, kayak or swim in the bioluminescent waters, and have so much fun! On the second day, campers go on a scenic bike ride into town where they get to explore the local shops such as the thrift store, ice cream shop, cafe, gift store and so much more. We follow the exploration with an annual basketball game then bike a new route home!
