Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center is a

non-profit organization with a mission to

promote stewardship through educational

experiences inspired by Opal Creek's natural

and cultural history.

Spend five days among the spectacular old

growth trees, waterfalls, and rushing rivers of

Opal Creek.

Grab a dip-net and try and catch frogs,

salamanders and insects before they leap

into the cool waters of Opal Creek. Learn

to catch and handle butterflies carefully

for identification before letting them go.

Snorkel the crystal clear waters of the Little

North Fork of the Santiam River to see the

underwater world in action.  Join us as we venture beyond the comforts of Jawbone Flats, and learn to back pack through the pristine wilderness
