The Oregon Coast offers a diverse landscape of sandy beaches, powerful waves crashing against rocky bluffs, tide pools, and coastal rainforests. You’ll get to explore the coastline, as well as relax at the isolated ocean-front camp where we’ll be staying. Keep an eye out for elk, beaver, deer, eagles, great blue herons, and possibly even whales. Explore miles of rugged, sparsely populated beaches offering a discerning beachcomber hidden agates after storms. Watch Pacific Ocean swells roll in from from the distant horizon. Come see why the Oregon Coast is a premiere destination for outdoor enthusiasts! You’ll stay at a camp-type facility, with beds in rustic cabins, showers, bathrooms, and a dining hall. You’ll spend time bonding with your small group, and also meet other new students who’s trip is based at this location. Read the detailed trip description to learn more.
