Annual Foray

From September 9 to 12, 2027, NAMA will partner with affiliated club Alberta Mycological Society to bring you our 67th Annual Foray, set amid the stunning mountain vistas, conifer and aspen forests of Camp Chief Hector YMCA of the Rockies, near Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada. 

Camp Chief Hector is located approximately 84 kilometers/52 miles from Calgary and 61 kilometers/38 miles from Banff. Our site visit to Camp Chief Hector found abundant and diverse mushrooms popping up throughout the heavily forested grounds of this magnificent location, right outside the bunkhouse, yurt or tipi accommodations; for those who prefer a less rustic experience, we are also working to negotiate courtesy blocks at nearby hotels.

We are already building this event to open registration as early as possible in the new year and will announce further details as they become available. We hope you will save these dates to join us for this incredible experience of science and mycofellowship!
