A giant mural was created by the 1st and 2nd grade students who are studying ocean animals in Ms. Detjens and Ms. Sutter's classes. Rocks and corals were created with hand-painted paper. Ten different tropical fish species were created with oil pastels. The mural can be seen from the library and the main stair landing and will be up for the rest of the school year.

Spend your days exploring local creeks and forests, finding interesting critters, playing active games, and making new friends. Students will learn to interpret their local natural environment by developing tracking, observation, and survival skills.

Middle School Adventure Camp

Like adventure and trying new things? Add some excitement to your summer with a whole week of exciting outdoor activities led by knowledgeable CREST staff! Each day we will try something new – including hiking, canoeing a local river, white water rafting the Clackamas River, and climbing a rock wall. This year we are adding a day of kayaks and SUPs (stand up paddle boards). On Monday you will get to know fellow campers by playing active games and doing team challenge activities. During the rest of the week, we will bus to different natural areas in the Portland area for our adventures.

Teen Leadership Training
For students entering grades 8 - 10 in the fall

CREST’s Teen Leadership Training is the first step to becoming a camp counselor with our summer camp programs for kids, and is an excellent way for teens to gain leadership skills and career experience. CREST counselors are role models for our young campers, and are often a camper’s favorite part of the camp experience. As a counselor, students help lead games, nature hikes, and other activities at camp. The Teen Leadership Training will help counselors gain leadership skills, including public speaking, group management, and teamwork. We focus on learning and practicing the fun games and activities that we do at camp, so that counselors will be prepared to help lead a small group of campers and be part of our dynamic camp staff. After the training, counselors can choose to volunteer at one of our primary level summer camps.

Date: June 13 & 14, 2019 Time: 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Location: CREST - 11265 SW Wilsonville Road, Wilsonville
