Pacific Northwest Leathermen's Campout 2026

What it is

The Pacific Northwest Leathermen’s Campout (PNWLC) is a Thursday–Sunday outdoor retreat (July 30 – August 2, 2026) on a private, 15-acre forested property east of Oregon City, Oregon — roughly 25 minutes south of PDX, ~1 hour north of Salem, and ~45 minutes southeast of Hillsboro.

It is a 501(c)(3) volunteer production focused on education and community for male-identifying adults 21+ (regardless of assigned sex at birth) in a clothing-optional, sex-positive, SSC-framed environment rooted in gay male leather traditions.
