For the first week sixth graders and sixth grade teachers from 3 Neah-Kah-Nie classes and 4 East School classes camp begins on Monday, September 22nd at 10:00 AM and continues through Friday, September 26th, leaving camp at 1:30 PM.

For the second week 2 classes of sixth graders and sixth grade teachers from East School, 2 classes of students and teachers from Nestucca Valley Middle School and 2 classes of sixth graders and teachers from Mill City Middle School begin camp on Monday, September 29th and continue through Friday, October 3rd leaving camp at 1:30 PM.

Who can attend Tillamook County Outdoor School (TCODS)?
Any sixth grader in Tillamook County can attend ODS. This includes home schooled students and students attending private schools.

Students in some of the public schools have worked to fundraise money to pay the fee for their attendance at ODS. All other interested sixth grade-age children will also need to pay the fee and contact Moses as soon as possible to arrange attendance during one of the weeks of camp. This year, due to fundraising and donations, we are hoping to keep the fee for in-county students to the incredibly low $90.00 per sixth grader.

High school students may attend as counselors if they sign up during the first week of school and are selected to attend. Check with the high school office staff to find out where the sign up will take place. Listen to or read the posted high school announcements for further information. Students are selected in the order of sign-up with seniors being taken before juniors etc. If you attend a high school outside of Tillamook County, contact Moses about attending as a counselor if you are interested by September 5th!

A few young adults attend camp as Senior Counselors (SCs). A few others serve as YO! Staff. Check out the information FAQs for SCs and YO! if you are interested.

I have money that I would like to give to a worthy nonprofit organization. Can TCODS benefit from any donations?

YES! Yippy Skippy! We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing ODS for Tillamook County's sixth graders and selected high school students. Donations not only help us keep the student cost down, but we hope to eventually have a large fund that we can earn interest off of to substantially reduce the yearly cost. Please either contact Moses if you would like more information before donating, or send your donation to TCODS, PO Box 4, Cloverdale, OR 97112. Your donation will be acknowledged with a receipt.

Also, if you might know of others who might want to make a donation or of businesses or organizations who might be interested in donating to TCODS, contact Moses.
