Beaches and Bluffs Yurt Overnight
Join a relaxing one-night get-away to Cape Lookout on the Oregon Coast! You’ll stay in cozy rustic yurts Friday night, which have heating, power, and bunk beds. Conditions permitting we may have a campfire. On Saturday we’ll visit the sandy beach right out our front door, and go for a walk along a rock bluff that just out into the Ocean, offering spectacular views no matter the weather. We’ll depart Friday after dinner and return in time for dinner on Saturday, so you still have plenty of weekend on campus.

Amenities
Pre-Trip Meeting
College Outdoors trips have a Pre-Trip Meeting (PTM) prior to the trip to help you prepare, which takes place at the Sequoia warehouse on the Graduate Campus.
At this meeting you’ll meet the trip leaders and other participants, learn more about the trip activity, location, and schedule, and be given a packing list of everything you need for your trip. The trip leaders and Sequoia staff will then help you find and borrow anything on the packing list that you’d like to borrow. We have high-quality outdoor clothing and equipment, and it’s all free to use for your trip!
If you miss a Pre-Trip Meeting, check your email for important info you missed.
