The McKenzie River Conference Center is located 45 minutes from Eugene, Oregon in the Willamette National Forest. This pristine area is well known for its recreational and visual wonders. The area offers rafting, fly fishing, hiking and biking along with all the other outdoor activites the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

We are fortunate to be able to partner with the owners of this great facility to offer our campers an experience like no other: a true outdoor "resort" setting, along with gymnastics training in one of the finest gymnastics centers in the Pacific Northwest.

Campers will find modern dormitories that will provide them with almost all the features of home. Unfortunately because there are so many outdoor activities to enjoy, we forgot to put in television sets! Each dormitory will accommodate up to 14 students and one camp counselor.

Every dorm will have at least one camp counselor assigned for the week to assure adequate supervision and safety.

We have Executive Dormitories reserved exclusively for our coaches and their guests.

We have limited each session to 60 students. This will enable us to have smaller groups at our gymnastics training sessions. Our program has scheduled in plenty of free time for our campers to enjoy the surroundings, or just to relax after each days training.

Each evening we will end the day with special "camp" activities such as campfires and skits. We hope to create lasting memories for each camper to take back home with them.

During your free time we will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the activities that the McKenzie River and the surrounding area offer. River rafting is enjoyed by many and we have guides available to take you on that river trip.

Just next door to the camp is the Tokatee Golf Course for those that enjoy hitting the little white ball around.

You will also find activities such as fly fishing, hiking, biking or just plain laying in the sun.

Additional Information on the Willamette National Forest

Click here to go to the Willamette National Forest web page for more detailed information.

Located in Oregon, lies the Willamette National Forest. The forest stretches for 110 miles (177,023 kilometers) along the western slopes of the Cascades. The Forest is 1.6 million acres (682,343 hectares) in size and extends from the Mt. Jefferson area east of Salem to the Calapooya Mountains northeast of Roseburg. The Willamette National Forest is known for its numerous volcanic peaks, the forested Cascade Range, and its outstanding rivers. Accessed by four major highways, the Forest is within a day's drive from anywhere in western and central Oregon.

The Willamette National Forest has about 1,700 miles of trail. While many are in wilderness areas, a number of trails are low-elevation, easy-access trails for year-round hiking.

The trip planning guide lists of some of our more popular trails. It includes specific hikes with detailed information and generalized maps. We will continue to add to this list over time, so be sure to visit these pages again before planning your next trip!

Three scenic low-elevation trails have been designated as National Recreation Trails. Two of them, Fall Creek and McKenzie River Trails, are located within 50 miles of Eugene, and the third, the South Breitenbush Gorge National Recreation Trail, is located 60 miles east of Salem.

During the summer, visitors can hike to any of the mountains with staffed lookouts. These include Coffin, Huckleberry, Sand, Carpenter, Warner and Iron. All sites offer excellent vistas, and during the springtime, Iron Mountain has spectacular wildflowers.
