Tentsile
Spend your weekends up in the trees by elevating your tent-camping experience, literally. Tentsile tree tents get you off the ground and up where the scenery is fantastic. You can even string them up over a narrow river or stream. They’re available in a variety of shapes and sizes—perfect for any summer campout.
Saving Pan
The concept behind this vegetarian cookbook is a sweet one. Thirteen sixth-grade students at Beverly Cleary K-8 School in Portland developed the concept in 2014. Four years later, the Saving Pan cookbook is a reality. The book features more than fifty vegetarian recipes from notable chefs and activists from around the world. All of the proceeds are donated to the Jane Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo.
Oregon Garden BrewCamp
The Oregon Garden is not only a fab place to celebrate spring’s arrival, it’s also the best place for a Northwest beerfest. This one is especially cool because it allows camping on site and is family friendly, with kids’ crafts and activities. You’ll enjoy nonstop music, more than forty craft breweries, artisan vendors and a wine tasting area.
