Science Camp & Outdoor School

Camps are a great way for our students to grow in independence, experience being away from the family and learn about environmental science and history in an experiential and hands-on way. Guides and assistants accompany the trips, along with limited parent chaperones. Locations are staffed by specialists and camp locations and themes vary each year. 


Here are some recent programs we have partnered with: 

Columbia River Maritime Museum

Fort Clatsop

OMSI Camp Hancock

Catalina Islands Environmental Leadership Program 

Nature Bridge - Olympic National Park

“Our family has found so much value in being part of the Cascadia community! The teachers are accessible and very in tune with the kids and their development while providing the resources for exceptional learning.”

Field Trips

A variety of half day and full day field trips include a local flour mill, OMSI, Shaffer family farm, Mt St Helens, Ft. Vancouver, Portland Art Museum, Oregon Children’s Theater, Bonneville Dam, and more.

Overnight Outdoor School

Each spring the children trek to overnight outdoor school. From night hikes to nature studies, the children absorb the sights, sounds and smells of nature experiencing the wonder and magnificence of the outdoors.

Middle school students take a week long trip for hands-on learning about nature, history, science, and team building. Previous trips have included the Olympic Peninsula, Catalina Island, and the Marin Headlands.

Summer Camp

Cascadia holds camps for several weeks during the summer months for incoming and current Cascadia students from ages 6-11. A list of camp offerings and fees are available from the office in the spring. Previous camps have included baking, sports, coding, and cooking.
