EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Program intended for grandchildren from 8 - 12 years of age.

How does food get from the farm — or ocean — to your table? Share in the ultimate culinary adventure with your grandchild as you join chefs from the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute (OCCI) for a hands-on approach to bringing fresh, local foods to your plates! Learn how to catch and prepare your own seafood along Oregon’s beautiful coast, and select delicious local produce as you meet the community members of area farmers markets. OCCI chefs offer their expertise in kitchen safety and cooking techniques as you and your grandchild create dishes from the ingredients you have caught and harvested. From blueberries and herbs to produce and seafood, your introduction to Oregon’s gastronomic delights is sure to be delicious!


Highlights

• Catch, clean and prepare fresh rock fish, salmon and crabs gathered during boat excursions on the ocean with expert fishermen.
• Pick blueberries at a local farm and learn how to make them into fresh berry pies, as well as jams that you can bring home.
• During an “Iron Chef”-style challenge utilizing fresh local produce, join with your grandchild in competition to become the next “Iron Road Scholar.”

Activity Notes

Hiking up to two miles over uneven terrain; walking along uneven and wet surfaces; standing for long periods of time.

Coordinated by Southwestern Oregon Community College.
