The Alton Collins Center is dedicated to offer a safe, quality environment for growth and reflection for service in the world. The center is nestled in a Pacific northwestern forest surrounded by majestic, moss covered cedar, spruce, fir, hemlock and wide leaf maple. The natural environment supports ferns, trillium, and salmon berries covering the forest floorl. This setting combined with the comfort and convenience of a commercial facility in a metropolitan area creates the perfect environment for individual and personal growth, study, and reflection.

Characteristics that enhance the quality of service include:

· easy access year round

· proximity to the Portland metropolitan area

· a secluded space devoid of noise and distractions

· a professional staff sensitive to the needs of your event

· a full service kitchen providing delicious meals sensitive to a variety of nutritional needs and a concern for the success of each event and the growth of every guest.

We serve religiously affiliated groups, schools and educational bodies, families, service organizations and other non-profit groups who enrich life in the world.
