COYLE OUTSIDE

Our goal is to provide youth with an experience of taking "mentored" risks and developing a meaningful connection to the natural world and each other. We want our students to experience discovery, connect with the natural world, and develop initiative, accountability and creativity.

Coyle Outside is committed to having an instructor team that is diverse, passionate, and interested in making a difference in the world.

We look for amazing people who love kids and the outdoors to make our camps and courses a transformational experience for the people we serve.

We are based in Corvallis, OR, operating year round and additionally we offer summer programs in Portland and Bend, OR as well as several additional states.
