Mazamas – 125 years of of climbing, hiking, and protecting the mountains of the Pacific Northwest

We have a variety of climbing education program designed for different experience levels. All you need is a love of the outdoors, good fitness, and a desire to learn!

Our Street Ramble program is the perfect way to meet new people, get in shape, or stay in shape! Every week on Tuesday & Thursday you can ramble from REI in the Pearl District, and during the summer on Wednesdays from the Mazama Center.

The Mazamas offer a hikes year-round in the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood area, Forest Park, Mt. St. Helens, and many, many other locations. There are hikes for all ability levels.

Are you interested in getting outside with your kids? We offer a Families Mountaineering Program that will teach you to climb alongside your kids. 

Adventurous Young Mazamas (AYM) offers activities targeted to those in their 20s and 30s and anyone young at heart. All activities are open everyone, regardless of age.

At Mazama Wild Day Camp (formerly Adventure WILD Summer Camp), we believe that authentic learning takes place when children are able to investigate and interact with the world around them. We offer summer and school break camps.
