Our summer programs keep kids engaged, exploring, and learning during the out-of-school months. These programs all work to battle the “summer learning slide” (the loss of learning and skills during idle summer months) while immersing youth in unique hands-on learning that turns the world into their classroom. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure, or a classic summer camp experience, our summer programs light a spark in youth, keep them learning, and re-orient their perspectives on school, their dreams, and their community. Mission StatementWe are people dedicated to creating quality environments of Christian hospitality and learning.

Westwind is breathtaking — an outstanding variety of landscapes within 529 acres of prime coastline. Stroll more than a mile of unspoiled ocean beach. Observe the natural estuary and marshlands abundant with wildlife. Play in the sand. Explore deep rain forests. Meander through coastal headland meadows. Study marine life in tide pools. Discover hidden lakes and bubbling streams. Spend time with family and friends in a place built to foster community. Westwind’s terrain is mostly sand (it is situated near the ocean’s edge along a mile-long spit of beach just north of Lincoln City), but all of its community buildings including the dining hall, restrooms, showers and specified sleeping quarters are ADA compliant. Its other cabins are accessible by well maintained trails (see map below). Westwind operates under American Camp Association standards, and has a long history of making its camp as accessible to as many people as possible regardless of ability. At Mt. Hood Kiwanis Camp, we empower children and adults with disabilities. For over 80 years, we have partnered with the U.S. Forest Service to provide individuals with disabilities an outstanding overnight recreational opportunity in the Mt. Hood National Forest. We offer eight week-long sessions of residential summer camp, providing our campers with a one-on-one camper/counselor ratio. We also offer programming throughout the year at our fully accessible 22-acre campsite.
Our campers go through many powerful experiences every day. Campers talk about how many fish they caught, friends they danced with, and the fear they overcame by doing the zip line. Even more extraordinary is how experiences at camp positively contribute to the total growth of our campers. They grow as individuals and blossom in ways only summer camp can foster.
