Drift Creek Nature Center is promoting the use of Drift Creek Camp as a location for Outdoor Education programs for schools with their own curriculum and staff. DCC offers a unique combination of Northwest old growth rain forest surrounded by a pristine coastal stream in the heart of the Coastal Mountain Range. Travel to and from our site passes managed timber forests in various stages of growth and the tide pools and estuaries of the Oregon beaches. Our clear night sky with little competing artificial light offers great views of the night sky. |
| Our Nature
Information Center features a quiet corner with a children's
library, science equipment, table top books, field guides, 32” monitor,
DVD/VCR player and computer, trail map and guides to go with the
extensive trail system, and other outdoor education resources. We have
onsite staff available and prepared to assist with the use of these
resources and
planning activities. We are working on the scientific identification of the native species at DCC which began with our very successful bioblitz on May 24, 2008 and continues with regular updates on our website. |

scripted a more perfect setting, facility, and hosts than what we
encountered...We plan to return again next year”. Dottie
