SUMMARY:Camp - Green Geckos: Week of 8/12 (Ages 8-12)
DESCRIPTION:Camp offered in partnership with Portland Parks & Recreation. Registration required through ActiveNet. Click on the button below. \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nACTIVITY LOCATION \n\n\n\nMt. Scott Park (SE 72nd Ave. and SE Harold St.) \n\n\n\nLEVEL 1- BEGINNER \n\n\n\nRider Experience: Beginner with ½ – 1 years of riding on dirt trails \n\n\n\nThese riders are already comfortable riding a bike on gravel roads as well as on dirt and grass\, and down some features up to 3-4 inches high such as a small curb\, with their feet out. They are learning to stand and coast on the pedals for short periods of time. They can shift gears and corner\, but it might not go as smoothly as it could — or at the right time. They are interested in rolling over taller features\, and riding pump tracks (or rolling terrain) without pedaling the whole time. They can ride 1-2 miles on a trail or bike path. \n\n\n\nDuring this class: these riders will continue to improve their balance over varying terrain including trails and pump tracks (or rolling terrain)\, as well as brake and corner with more confidence\, shift more smoothly. They’ll learn to climb\, descend and ride faster; they’ll also learn slow-riding skills to have fun riding more technical trails including roll-downs and drops 6- 10” high – if they want to. The wheels may leave the ground on drops\, but we aren’t jumping quite yet.  \n\n\n\nBike: The Green Gecko’s bike has platform pedals\, two hand brakes (front and rear)\, a seat that can move up and down\, and is in good working condition. Single speeds are OK but a bike with gears will be more fun on the climbs. No coaster brakes\, worn out tires or kickstands. A Gecko’s helmet fits properly\, is in good condition and is less than 5 years old. \n\n\n\nRequired Gear: -Bike in good condition* -A properly fitting helmet in good condition and is less than 5 years old* -Water bottle (no more than 16 oz\, otherwise it’s too heavy to carry!) -Snacks for the individual -Clothing appropriate for the weather including jacket and gloves -Pack to carry layers\, snacks and water  \n\n\n\nRecommended Gear: -Full fingered gloves -Knee and elbow protection -Eye protection  \n\n\n\n*We have bikes and helmets to loan! Required height 4’-5” to 5’-6” tall. If the rider is shorter or taller\, let us know\, we may have a properly sized bike but our quantities are very limited.  \n\n\n\nPickup and drop off: southeast corner of Mt. Scott Park\, near SE 74th and SE Knight St.

SUMMARY:DIG DAY — Tillamook - 11/9
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in the Tillamook for a fun-filled day of recreation\, stewardship\, and fun times afterward! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe scope of work for the fall & winter is still a bit TBD at this point\, but similar to years past we’ll be focusing on maintaining shared-use trails (Gales Creek\, Storey Burn\, Wilson River Trail\, Historic Hiking Loop) by removing blowdown\, pruning them back\, improving drainage\, and re-shaping the tread caused by erosion in the rugged and steep (but gorgeous) Coast Range Mountains. Weather conditions are always variable out there\, but we will reschedule if conditions warrant. \n\n\n\nA typical day starts at 8am for the completely optional ride/hike/run to get the legs warmed up\, then a quick change of clothes at 10am to get ready for the actual work. We work on the designated trail section from 10am-2:30pm\, then usually celebrate with a warm fire\, some hot food (options for those with dietary restrictions provided)\, and a variety of provided beverages from Pelican\, Hopworks\, and others. Total hiking distance when working is less than 4 miles round-trip. \n\n\n\nTools can be provided as needed. We break into smaller crews\, each led by an experienced crew lead who can provide direction and answer questions as needed to ensure you’re having a safe\, fun\, and productive time. \n\n\n\nAs dates get closer\, the Tillamook LST (Nathan Frechen) will provide details (when & where to meet up\, what to bring\, etc). Feel free to reach out to him proactively at tillamooksf@nw-trail.org with any questions you may have in advance.
