Nurture Your Nature
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. VISION
Portland's parks, public places, natural areas, and recreational opportunities give life and beauty to our city. These essential assets connect people to place, self, and others. Portland's residents treasure and care for this legacy, building on the past to provide for future generations. MISSION The mission of Portland Parks & Recreation is to help Portlanders play - providing the safe places, facilities, and programs which promote physical, mental, and social activity. We get people, especially kids, outside, active, and connected to the community. As we do this, there will be an increase in the wellness of our residents and the livability of our city. We accomplish this through:
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. Formed in 1955, THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning about 50 square miles and serving 230,000 residents in the greater Beaverton, Ore., area.

It takes a dream to create a successful business idea. It takes people to make dreams a reality. Could you be one of those people?
The founder of IKEA had a very powerful vision… to improve everyday life for the majority of people. Since the establishment of the first IKEA store almost 50 years ago, we have gone a very long way towards realising this dream. A key success factor has been the recruitment of committed individuals who have shared the IKEA vision and pulled together to turn it into a reality. Today, IKEA has indeed become a very tangible reality! It is a worldwide organisation employing thousands of people in many different countries. Literally every day IKEA reaches that bit further afield, which is why we need to continue finding and recruiting more committed individuals to join our organisation.
