All 6th grade students in Oregon have an opportunity to participate in Outdoor School, an immersive outdoor education experience. Taking place in Oregon's natural landscape, students learn about themselves, their peers, the environment and natural resources and leave with skills to prepare them for the future.

Each year, the PTA organizes a free trip to one of the local camps during their scheduled Open House. We coordinate a bus, dinner, snacks, and Spanish translation so that it’s accessible for our families to attend.

2025 Information

This year’s trip will happen on Sunday, March 2, 2025. We’ll be touring Camp Collins near Oxbow Park in Gresham.

Families will get an Interactive tour and will have an opportunity to ask camp counselors and other staff members questions about the Outdoor School experience.

We will meet at Chávez at 2:45 PM and return to the school around 6:30 PM.

Contact the school office for sign-up information.
