Camp Colton A gathering space in the lush pnw forest. Weddings | Retreats & Parties | Experiential Programming | Non-Profits | Film + Photo

We are a flexible space where people of all backgrounds may experience nature, community and the arts. Through thoughtful public and private programming, we create opportunities for discovery including art workshops and residencies, wellness retreats, regenerative agriculture, nature programs and celebrations for all stages of life. The grounds and buildings at Camp Colton offer unmatched access to magnificent natural wilderness complemented by beautifully
refined structures. Our Historic Chapel was brought from the WWII Army quarters at Camp Adair in Corvallis to Camp Colton in 1947, each board numbered, transported on flatbed trucks, and reassembled upon arrival. Now, the unaffiliated Chapel provides a beautiful sanctuary for any occasion. The creekside Gathering Hall, renovated in 2017, provides a sophisticated reception venue complete with commercial kitchen, bar and large outdoor areas for your ceremony, reception, retreat or celebration. Prepare for your event in comfort in one of our cottages, which can be added to your event as overnight accommodations. Whatever your event, Camp Colton’s rustically elegant facilities and 85 acres of enchanting forest are sure to make it an experience you - and your guests - will never forget.

Before we gather around the table at the Maple Dinner, a former Stelo artist-in-residence Megan Chin will walk us through a Deep Listening workshop in the forest 🌳🌲

Expand your awareness by learning about the practice of deep listening and participate in an “extreme slow walk” exercise. Deep listening is a practice crafted by composer Pauline Oliveros which enables conscious listening attention to our surroundings as a way of increasing creativity and connection with all forms of life. This meditative offering will help ground us in the present, supporting connection with the land, ourselves and each other.

Allow us to re-introduce Aron Warren - farmer, world traveler, and chef for the Maple Dinner 🍽️

Aron hails from the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming and Montana where he developed a deep love of nature and the outdoors. Aron followed his dream of becoming a chef to the PNW where he quickly fell in love with the region’s culinary bounty and has been working with food here ever since. Aron’s passion is bringing together his love of food and nature to create experiences that foster community, connection and creativity. Aron’s food has a rustic flair with a focus on high quality, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. 

He’s excited to create a meal for you inspired by the Bigleaf Maple trees that grow in the forest he works in daily here at Camp Colton.

We are in gratitude to the firefighters who keep us and our lands safe especially during the dry season. We invite our firefighters and their families to stay at Camp Colton for a respite from November 16th through November 20th. If you or a firefighter you know would benefit from connecting with nature, we invite you to apply for a fully subsidized stay.

We welcome our community of artists to apply for our November Artist Respite at Camp Colton.

From November 2nd through the 6th, enjoy open ended, self-directed time to rest and focus on your practice. For this session, we are adding a special communal component: spending a portion of your stay helping our onsite caretaker, Neal, with collaborative projects around the grounds. It is a beautiful way to care for the physical space alongside your dedicated creative time.

Submit your application by Sunday, October 11th. https://www.campcolton.com/events/novartist-respite

We are saddened to share that our goat Ollie has left us. He was loved by our staff and guests. Ollie is remembered for enjoying peanuts and showing affection with headbutts. He spent his final moments on the grounds surrounded by loved ones feasting on blackberries and grapes. He will be missed ❤️
