Mission Statement
At Tillamook County Outdoor School, we provide a positive, safe, and caring environment in which sixth graders will be challenged to learn important life concepts in relating to and caring for our environment including both nature and people. Students and their teachers will be creatively challenged to pursue more learning opportunities about the needs of our environment and how people can meet those needs in very wise and caring ways.
High school counselors and staff will also be challenged to grow in relating to others in positive high quality ways and increasing personal self-esteem as we provide a unique atmosphere of sincere caring and provide many opportunities to develop great responsibility in demonstrating a positive, safe and caring environment for everyone involved. In short, everyone learns or is reminded that society needs each of us to learn ways to be a responsible and positive person and that life isn't just about me and my needs.
