The 2011 program was another wonderful success. Students and community members learned and played with us, there were nearly 10 local schools represented and several siblings. We expanded upon our connection with Portland Public School's ACE (Academic Cultural Enrichment) program and had various parts of our week with their students. Our commitment to community action continued though a second year removing English Ivy at Mt. Tabor Park (thank you to Friends of Mt. Tabor Park Volunteers)and care-taking the various gardens of Atkinson Elementary.
Thanks to all our fabulous volunteers for making this program possible for another summer!

- About Us
- Portland, Oregon
- The OLGSI is a summer garden camp based in the Outdoor Learning Gardens of Atkinson Elementary in Portland, Oregon. This program is open to all students grades k-5 this current school year. Through Place Based Learning and hands-on exposure, students will have the opportunity to gain skills in the Natural Sciences, engage in gardening techniques and sustainable living, explore the collaborative expressions of The Arts and Science, and create civic action through community based projects. We encourage play, questions, exploration, and self expression.
