CASCADE SCIENCE SCHOOL AT CAMP NAMANU

Registration now open for Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 Outdoor School Programming! E-mail register@omsi.edu for more information.

Camp Namanu sits on 552 forested acres along the banks of the Sandy River. Namanu is close to Portland, yet far enough away to allow students a true outdoor science learning experience. Its lowland forests provide an environment that is similar to those found throughout the Willamette Valley, allowing students to connect their outdoor science school experience with their home environment. Namanu has heated cabins, a modern dining hall and a covered campfire area which allows comfortable learning year round.

Available Fall and Spring Location: Near Sandy on the Sandy River Capacity: 150
