Getting Here and Getting Around

Many counselors choose to drive to camp. If you choose to come by bus, plane, or train, we can pick you up in Portland. Portland is the nearest major city and is about 40 minutes from camp.

If you are looking to get off-campus during your time off, this never seems to be a problem. Counselors car-pool just about everywhere and we allow the use of camp vehicles under certain conditions.

For Fun

Camp is recreation. We offer over 30 different activity options, we have special themed days, games like all-camp Capture-the-Flag and the list goes on!
