CABINS AND RESTROOMS
Most cabins have a private single-stall half-bath. All students and Student Leaders sleep on bunk beds with mattresses. Students and Student Leaders should bring a sleeping bag (or blankets) and pillow for their stay. In addition to the restrooms inside the cabins, a main restroom facility with multiple stalls is centrally located in each cabin area. Single-occupancy restrooms can also be found in the Health House and Rusty's Rec Lodge. |

OTHER FEATURES
Rain or shine, the entire Collins community gathers in the evening for a campfire program at the outdoor campfire facility or Rusty's Rec Lodge. Class groups, cabin groups, Student Leaders, and staff perform skits and enjoy songs, and it is many students' favorite part of Outdoor School.
Field study at Outdoor School — when students learn science — occurs throughout the site. The Collins site is located along the Sandy River adjacent to Oxbow Regional Park, and features lush forests.
Photos of some of the nature around Collins Outdoor School can be found on the Science & Nature page.
