About Westwind

Westwind is a 529-acre independent non-profit camp, learning space, and wilderness area set in the middle of the 10,000+ acre Cascade Head UN Biosphere Reserve in Oregon. In addition to operating its traditional summer “Camp Westwind,” Westwind hosts Outdoor School in the spring and fall, rentals on available weekends, and various workshops, events and volunteer programs throughout the year.
