For thousands of years it has been home for Mowachaht/Muchalaht people. Each summer, families move out to camp to enjoy the beauty of Yuquot. Here, we re-connect with our home, our lands and waters, and with each other. Each campout includes a one-day Summerfest when visitors and dignitaries are invited to celebrate Yuquot with Mowachaht/Muchalaht people.
