TRANSPORTATION
If you need transportation from the airport (PDX) to our campus, please connect with us at least 24hr in advance and we will have someone either pick you up or direct you to the bus with all your future fans so you can sign autographs the entire drive.
LODGING
All Signature Session™ guests may either choose to provide their own off-campus lodging or stay in our glamping experience located in just outside the boundary of the youth camp. Spots will be pre-assigned and communicated at arrival.
Forest Tents: Premium wood platformed canvas-walled tents tucked away in our forest area, surrounding a bonfire community zone. Each tent sleeps two (2) people, features electricity for charging phones & laptops, has electric boot dryers, and gives you close access to our newly built showers/bathrooms. Bedding will be provided. We got you.
All tents are subject to availability. Your own solo tent is not guaranteed, and in some instances, you may be asked to share a tent with someone you do not know.
Roamer Sites: Van camping area offers overnight parking for people who have rigs that they want to live in for the week. These designated spots feature electricity and water and offer easy access to the Glamping Tent area and bathrooms/showers. No dumping but you’ll want to use our new showers and restrooms anyway.
Forest Sauna: There is a private Forest Sauna located in the woods. This sauna is only for Signature Session™ guests and VIPs. The sauna features two cold soaking pools fed by a stream. Expect 45 min to heat up. Arlan your ProHost™, will be your point of contact and will get you dialed.
🚨 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 🚨
The Forest Glamping area is designated as “ADULTS ONLY” and offers our guests a private and responsible beverage zone. If you got them you can crack them... but ALWAYS keep in mind, this is a kid’s camp and ANYONE who has been drinking alcohol is not allowed to partake or utilize any of the campus facilities. And ANYONE caught visibly intoxicated in front of youth campers or is drinking under the age of 21 will be subject to immediate removal and loss of future campus access. Use your common sense here… Drinking is for AFTER your camper interactions and sport participation has concluded for the day.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SMOKE WEED, POT, GANJA, REEFER, SOME BUDS, MARY JANE, HERB, CHEEBA, THE CHRONIC, THE DEVIL’S LETTUCE, GRASS, DOPE, FLOWER... OR ANY OTHER CODE NAME FOR MARIJUANA ON CAMPUS OR IN THE ADULT FOREST CAMP ZONE. There are kids on the other side of the wall and the smoke and smell will not be tolerated on campus.
DO NOT BREAK THESE RULES. THERE IS NO TOLERANCE, AND BREAKING THESE RULES WILL LEAD TO UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCES.
Ok. Done with the harsh stuff but please help us protect our kid camp “bubble.” It’s only a week!
PRO HOST
On your arrival day, you will meet our Roamer Sites/Glamping Tent Pro Host, Arlan.
Arlan lives in Tent #5 and will be main point of contact regarding the schedule, camping area, parking, lodging needs, bathroom codes, etc... Arlan is the man! Please be polite and respect his authority.
