Discover the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest with our 8-day Cascades summer camp session. Departing from Portland, OR, our campers journey into the heart of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to set up camp at the stunning Panther Creek in Washington.
This session is designed for young adventurers ready to explore the volcanic landscapes of the Cascades. From our base camp under the towering evergreens, we spend our days visiting alpine lakes, trekking through lush fern-filled forests, and climbing peaks for views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. Highlights of this session include:
Waterfall Exploration: Hiking to the spectacular multi-tiered Panther Creek Falls.
Mountain Trekking: Developing stamina and navigation skills while summiting local ridges.
Crafts: Archery, woodworking, linoleum cutting, ring making, t-shirt printing, and more.
River Ecology: Learning about the unique cold-water ecosystems of the Columbia River Gorge.
Wilderness Community: Building lifelong friendships around the nightly campfire.
Experience the wild spirit of the Cascades. Register today for our Portland-based summer session at Panther Creek!
