The operation places multiple yurts and cabins at remote camps including McCully Basin, Norway Camp, Big Sheep Camp, Schneider Camp, and Cornucopia Camp, providing options for small groups and exclusive rentals. McCully Camp is noted for 41 seasons of history and offers gourmet meals and cozy yurts; McCully is available as exclusive rental or small-group programs.
Norway Camp uses a 20-foot double-decker yurt with a kitchen and dining area below and sleeping for eight above. Big Sheep Camp sits behind Wing Ridge near a 7500 ft saddle and features sleep cabins, a shared kitchen yurt, and a sauna. Schneider Camp runs year-round programming with downhill mountain biking, shuttle access, wood-heated yurts or deluxe cabins, and a sauna.
Cornucopia Camp focuses on below-tree-line glade skiing with routes connecting Summit Creek to the Cornucopia mastiff, offered as four-day weekend or five-day midweek options. Non camp-based day guides provide rescue drills, alpine touring or splitboarding, and local route selection with post-trip access to Joseph, Oregon for food and brews. Big Sheep participants access camp via the Wagon Rd. Trail and can relax in the on-site sauna after outings. Camp listings note wood heating, communal kitchen yurts, and self-contained sleeping spaces that support multi-day backcountry skiing and mountain-biking trips. It also coordinates trip logistics.
