Life Experience

Students will take a variety of trips throughout the year to experience Oregon life. Off campus activities include, but are not limited to; surfing, rafting, industry tours, community activities, exploring downtown Portland and state wide field trips.

Surfing the Oregon Coast

Every semester we will take students on a 3 day surf trip to the Seaside, Oregon where surfboards and wetsuits will be provided by Cleanline Surf Shop.  Since the majority of our time is spent on the mountain, it is important to give students a taste of the world outside of our little bubble.  This experience will also include a trip to the Seaside Aquarium where students will learn what goes on below the waves, in addition to riding on top of them.

Rafting the Deschutes River

Every semester we will take students on a 3 day rafting trip along the Deschutes River. This experience will give students to appreciate the natural beauty of the state of Oregon while learning in a dynamic environment that is as edifying as it is exhilarating. Boats and guides will be provided to ensure the highest level of safety as well as enjoyment. While white water rafting is an action packed activity, it is also a viable form of transportation that gives entrée to parts of nature that are otherwise very difficult to access.
