Youth Camps and Retreat Centers in Oregon

Oregon’s beautiful wild frontier has been calling to visitors for centuries. With forests covering 60 percent of the state, there is no shortage of scenic foliage. The rugged peaks of western Oregon’s mountainous region are home to an impressive variety of plants such as the enormous ponderosa pine and red cedar as well as an interesting array of animals like the American pika, lynxes and pronghorn antelope.

Oregon’s broad landscape is home to a wide range of outdoor activities, from skiing in the snow-covered mountains to biking a forest trail to driving a dune buggy over the Oregon Coast Range. Oregon has no limits when it comes to frontier fun and adventure.
