Canada Trip!
Every year, the Post ventures into the Canadian wilderness and sets up base camp somewhere in the Purcell Mountains – a range above Idaho in the province of British Columbia. Often times there are two separate sets of dates offered that are held back-to-back. This year, both trips were held during the same week in different locations. It was a grand time with multiple first ascents, exciting weather (a lightning storm) and many other bonding experiences. Click here to read more about one group's experience.

Support Us
Post 58 provides teenagers in the Portland area with challenging outdoor experiences that provide opportunities for personal growth, connection with the nature and a way to interact with their peers away from the stress of school and digital distractions. The organization is largely student led and focuses on development of leadership, resilience, compassion and group living skills.
No other organization is doing this type of work for teens in the Portland area. The Post needs your help to continue its efforts. The Post runs all of its 100 + activities at very low cost to the students: essentially the cost of car mileage and permits. We rely on our supporters to help with the cost of liability insurance, office overhead, gear maintenance and acquisition, training for the adult advisors, and accident insurance
