Portland Cabin Open House
Come visit us at the Trackers Cabin to celebrate land and family. This is your opportunity to learn more about our camps, programs and simply have fun. Everything will be happening that day: nature walks in the wilds and wood, projects for pantry and kitchen and garden projects in permaculture and sustainable living.
Music, tall tales and celebration
Every night is a celebration for the work of the day. Festival and campfire continue the creation of culture for everyone at the camp. We tell stories, play music and may even be moved to put on theater performance or two. Stay into the night,
The cabin
Located only 9 miles outside of Sandy, Oregon, our Trackers cabin is the perfect place for families to enjoy a day. On 3 acres of land set for permaculture design and homesteading and adjacent to Audubon Society of Portland's 400 acre wildlife refuge we have room to wander the wilderness and work on homesteading projects.
How to join us While there is no charge for this day, we welcome donations if you can give it. Or if you stay for dinner, we request an $10 donation per person. RSVP is definitely required. Contact us to RSVP.

Fall is the time to celebrate our harvest, to reconvene as a family. We eat great feasts and get ready for the stories of winter. The fall village naturally does what happens in fall.
