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 t

o 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.
