Special Announcement:
​Upward Bound Camp and Covid-19

We take very seriously the role we play in limiting the spread of COVID-19. Many of our campers and dancers fall into the two highest risk categories: e.g. being over the age of 60 and/or immune compromised. In reviewing the current recommendations and working with our counseling team, we have determined that we cannot provide the supports necessary to keep our campers and dancers safe from infection at this time and have closed our Camp Sessions. We are following the State of Oregon Guidelines related to limiting groups and gatherings to guide us in making decisions as to when camps and dances may recommence. This is a fluid situation requiring all of us to be flexible in response to changing guidelines and recommendations. Please follow our Website and FB pages for updates.​

Given the current guidelines around COVID-19 we are required to cancel our Farm and Garden Gala scheduled for May 9, 2020 as we anticipate hosting more than 50 people for this event. Never fear, we all love a good party at Upward Bound so this event will be rescheduled and we will have much to celebrate after this crisis has abated!
