Camp Astoria

Local students aged seven to seventeen are engaging in place-based education and community service at the site of Astoria’s future riverside 100-acre park. Astoria Park Conservancy has partnered with various community organizations.

The program’s ultimate goal is to inspire students to become future conservationists by providing accessible and engaging learning experiences that allow them to contribute meaningfully to their community.
