Locations Day 4

Chief Obie Lodge

Named after G. H. Oberteuffer, Scout executive of the Portland Area Council from 1925 to 1958, "Chief Obie" Lodge was constructed starting in 1955 and was dedicated May 11, 1957. It offers a multipurpose building close to the Portland area. The main room is large enough for hundreds of participants, while several smaller rooms are for break-out training sessions. The dorm rooms upstairs will sleep 80+ participants for full weekend events. The Lodge is part of Scouters' Mtn., a camp owned by the Cascade Pacific Council.

Douglas Ridge Rifle Club

 

Douglas Ridge Rifle Club was founded in 1956 in Boring, Oregon, east of Portland.. The Club sits on about 130 acres of primarily Douglas Fir, open meadows, and a ridge rising 400 feet above the flatland. DRRC is operated under a conditional use permit, and over the years DRRC has expanded to include six ranges, boasts a membership of over 800 people, and supports more than a dozen shooting disciplines. The 1000-yard Range is the longest Long Range in Oregon and one of the very few on the west coast. DRRC is totally member-supported. Part of each member's responsibilities is to contribute some time each year to maintain the club. This can be accomplished by volunteering to help at club events, at hunter sight-in days in the fall, range clean-up days in the spring, or other range work days.

Clackamas River, Oregon

The Clackamas, the closest river to Portland and Mt. Hood, Oregon, offering year-round whitewater rafting, flows through dramatic canyons and verdant forests en route from its headwaters to the Willamette river. Much different from the slower, murkier, and suburban lower stretch, the Upper Clackamas runs clear and strong through pristine wilderness. In spite of its proximity to two great mountains: 11,239-foot Mt. Hood and 10,497-foot Mt. Jefferson. Most of the watershed for the Clackamas sits below 5,000 feet, one of the wettest in the state, providing ample snow and winter rains to feed the Clackamas all summer long. In addition, a series of small upstream reservoirs that release hydroelectric flows renders the Clackamas a wild class IV river in the spring and a playful class III river in the summer.

 

Clackamas Aquatic Park

Clackamas Aquatic Park is a Clackamas County indoor facility located in the southern Portland suburb of Milwaukie, Oregon. The facility has five pools with different water temperatures:

Lap Pool/Dive Well – 83°
Jacuzzi - 102°
Wave Pool – 85°
Wading Pool - 88°

There is a sand volleyball court and large sundeck outdoors. The 25-yard lap pool hosts swimmers who must swim 72 lengths of the pool to equal 1 mile. With over 400,000 gallons of water park fun, North Clackamas Aquatic Park is the perfect choice for youth groups, birthday bashes, team parties, private lock-ins, family reunions or just plain fun.
