CAMP SOMEWHERE Day Camp CAMP SOMEWHERE Day Camp Our program provides a safe, nurturing, and fun environment to engage the interests of all youth. Our day camp is non-stop and our activities reinforce our values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. At the Y, we create an exciting, safe environment for kids to have an unforgettable summer of fun. While they are taking part in unique experiences and outdoor adventures, they are also building self-esteem, developing interpersonal skills and making lasting friendships. We know it’s important to keep children’s minds sharp over the summer. The activities that we engage campers in are hands-on and educational while not forgetting about all the fun and silliness you’ve come to expect at camp. Each week will include opportunities to explore creativity, teamwork and leadership in a physically active environment. Campers will come home each day excited to share what they have done. A detailed weekly schedule is distributed on the Friday before each week by email and on the website. Summer Kick-Off Overnight, June 20, 6:00pm We will eat dinner, play a camper vs. counselor game, enjoy a campfire, and sleep out under the stars. Parents are invited to join us for the campfire and then campers and staff will spend the night. Both a dinner and breakfast will be included with the overnight, parents and siblings can join us for dinner $5/each. This is a great way for young campers to experience a sleepaway program and a chance for parents to have a night off. You must RSVP for the overnight at day camp during the same week. There is no additional fee other than you will be paying for both Thursday and Friday of day camp, even if you leave first thing on Friday morning.

Each day campers will be assigned a “cabin” with their own counselor to guide them through the day. Our unique program allows campers to take part in daily themed activities as well as working with their cabin mates to craft part of their day. To make sure that your camper is properly prepared for each day they should come dressed for the weather and ready to get dirty with a backpack filled with the Required 5: Lunch, Water Bottle, Sunscreen, Swimsuit and Towel.

Its inspiration came from Carlos Schwantes historical survey, The Pacific Northwest: An Interpretive History which provides a glimpse of national events in American history through a regional approach.

According to the application, “[These] rocks top out about as high as the tall trees around them. [They] can be climbed and are one adventure destination for campers.” The proposal for Latgawa Pinnacles was submitted by the Oregon Board on Geographic Names (OGNB) on behalf of a resident of San Diego, who was a long-time resident of the Rogue Valley and Methodist pastor at Camp Latgawa. The site of the camp was originally settled around 1900, following the discovery in 1871 of soda springs that are believed to have been familiar to the area’s Takelma, Shasta, and Klamath Tribes.

  • Oregon Rogue River Trail
    Oregon Rogue River Trail Grave Creek to Big Bend Rogue National Wild and Scenic River My Trail Journal Welcome to a National Treasure! The Rogue River National Recreation Trail, stretching 40 miles between Grave Creek and Big Bend, offers some of southwestern Oregon’s most amazing landscapes and rewarding hiking experiences. The trail traverses the wild section of the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River along its entire length. In addition, the western 16 miles cross the Wild Rogue Wilderness. These national designations recog- nize and help protect the Rogue’s outstanding scenery, fisheries, and recreational resources for present and future generations. The trail and the river are co-managed by the Bureau of Land Management’s Medford District and the U.S. Forest Service’s Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Location The Rogue River Trail follows the north bank of the river as it winds its way toward the Pacific Ocean. The eastern trailhead is at Grave Creek about 30 miles northwest of the city of Grants Pass. The western trailhead is at Big Bend near Foster Bar, about 35 miles upriver from the coastal town of Gold Beach. The Marial Trailhead and Rogue River Ranch provide access near the midpoint of the trail. The handout “Rogue River Shuttle Map” found at www.blm.gov/or/ resources/recreation/rogue/maps-publications.php provides direc- tions to the trailheads. Trip Planning The Rogue River Trail is a HIKING TRAIL ONLY, closed to motor- ized vehicles, bicycles, and pack animals. Most of the trail is well constructed and has moderate grades.

  • Oregon Resources the Beaver State
    Family History Sources in Oregon Resources The Beaver State Oregon History Fur trappers with the Hudson Bay Company were the first non-Native American settlers in Oregon in 1829, followed by Congregational, Methodist, and Catholic missionaries in the 1840s. Encouraged by the missionaries, between 1840 and 1860, nearly 53,000 settlers, mostly from Mississippi, Missouri, and the Ohio River valleys made the trek to Oregon. Native American tribes in Oregon included the Northern Paiute, Sahaptin, Cayuse, Nez Perce, Shoshone, and Klamath Modoc, Tillamook, Clatskanie, Takelma, Latgawa, Coquille, Umpqua, Shasta Costa, Chetco, Tolowa, Dakubetede, Siuslaw, Coos, Molalla, Chinook, Alsea, Yaquina, and Kalapulyan. Multiple wars between the original inhabitants of the area and new settlers took place in the 1800’s resulting often in the relocation of Native Americans to Indian reservations. In 1844, Oregon City was the first incorporated city west of the Rocky Mountains and was the capital until 1851 when it was moved to Salem. In 1855, the capital briefly moved to Corvallis, but returned to Salem within the same year. The Oregon Territory was first established in 1848 and included what are now the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Idaho. In 1853, the Territory was split into the Washington and Oregon Territories. The Washington Territory was comprised of the current state of Washington and the parts of Idaho and Montana; the Oregon Territory was current day Oregon and parts of Idaho and Washington. When Oregon became a state in 1859, the rest of the Oregon Territory became part of the Washington Territory. Oregon is the 9th largest state in terms of area and 27th in population.

Authorization for my own participation in this project came directly from the Oregon Websites and Watersheds Project, Inc., (ORWW) Board of Directors, for whom I have been Program Manager since 1996. ORWW is a 501 c(3) educational nonprofit based in Philomath, Oregon. Particular assistance and direction was provided by Wayne Giesy, ORWW Board Member, and by long-time ORWW forest science research associate, Nana Lapham. Lapham participated in all field research and documentation for this project, including website development, and assisted with oral history interviews and transcription. The majority of website and written report maps for this project were produced by the "GIS Team" at the Douglas County Surveyor's Office in Roseburg. The GIS Team did a wonderful job of catching errors and repairing field miscues during the course of this project and deserve full credit for the high quality maps and tables they have assembled from Surveyor’s Office files, and project archival and field research data. Special thanks are due to Terrie Franssen, Jean Crawford, and Kathy Thompson for the great product quality and attention to detail represented by their work. Remaining errors and omissions are my own. The Umpqua National Forest Supervisors Office, under the direction of Clifford Dils, contributed important time and resources to this study. Joyce E. Thompson, Planning and Products Staff Office, was very helpful at the beginning of the project, identifying key staff people who could provide technical assistance.
