Summer Camps
For Ages 3-Grade 9
Schools may close their doors in the summer, but there are plenty of lessons
to be learned at Willamalane camps. Young ones can create crafts, listen to stories, and play in our gym and outside at Little Kids Club Camp. Older children can explore natural wonders and challenge themselves in sports and games at Kids Club Camp, held at Dorris Ranch. There’s even a camp for young teens that brings the adventure of the outdoors and the thrill of skill-building to each and every day. Kids can join us for a week or for the whole summer.
Willamalane camps offer kids friendships, field trips, and more in the great outdoors. And they’ll be home in time for dinner. For more information call #736-4544.
Spring Trail Talks
Log Flipping
Come discover what lurks under a log. We will go in search of animals that make their home under logs in the forest and out in grassy fields. Come touch a slug, hold a newt, or learn why lizards lose their tails. This is a drop-in program; no registration is required. Meet at the Barn. Dress for mud.

Heirloom Pioneer Garden Volunteers Wanted
Dig into history!
Broom corn, turnips, and fingerling potatoes will be planted this spring at the Dorris Ranch Heirloom Pioneer Garden, where staff and volunteers will nurture the same crops as those grown by Oregon pioneers in the 1800s. A lush vegetable garden will be planted north of the Dorris Ranch Barn. In addition, a kitchen garden complete with culinary and medicinal herbs and teas will soon be planted around the Masterson Homestead Cabin. For information about volunteering at these historical gardens, contact Scott Dano at 954-7213 or scottd@willamalane.org.
