Catlin Gabel School invites campers from across the Portland metro area to spend the summer with us! Every week we offer a range of activities for different ages, including arts and crafts, sports, LEGO robotics, board game design, creative writing, photography, day camps, and more.

Our 67-acre campus is conveniently located just off of Highway 26 and is only minutes from downtown. Camps start July 7 and run through August 8, and each week offers different activities for preschool to high school. Catlin Gabel also hosts an array of partner camps that are run by professional organizations. Extened care is available in the mornings and afternoons and is open to both Catlin Gabel and partner camp participants. We look forward to seeing you soon.
