Umpqua Explorers

This summer our Explorers will learn about backpacking gear and cooking techniques, food preparation, collaborate with fellow youth at Fort Umpqua, identify edible and useful plants, go fishing, explore the ecology of our region, learn how to navigate through terrain, and become competent leaders. Teens can discover new aspects of Oregon, from camping on the beach to learning about Fort Umpqua to backpacking in the Rogue-Umpqua Wilderness. Explorers will also assist with the museum farmer’s market booth on some Saturdays as well as help with the organization and implementation of the Drive-In movies the museum hosts. Furthermore, there will be opportunities to go on short explorations around the Roseburg area on occasional Fridays. Explorer activities will be fun and educational, and will include things like special behind the scenes tours not generally open to the public.
