The Oregon Coast is one of our favorite places, and we are thrilled to invite you to spend a weekend with us at Camp Westwind.

Westwind is a 529-acre non-profit camp, learning space, and wilderness area set in the middle of the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve in Oregon. Westwind is home to beautiful headland meadows, dense Sitka Spruce and Hemlock forests, a dynamic estuary, hidden lakes and streams, and the unparalleled Pacific Coast.

Westwind sits on Tillamook and Siletz land, represented today by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians, at the mouth of the Salmon River.

Growing up, Hugh came to Westwind every year with his school! And now we can’t wait to spend a weekend at camp with you all to celebrate our wedding.

Camp Westwind is remote, and can only be accessed by trail or by boat. As a kid, Hugh thought Westwind was an island because he only ever came by water.

Access to camp is very controlled, so we’ll all hike in together on Friday afternoon and leave together on Sunday morning. This means our wedding is really a whole weekend event! Don’t worry, your luggage will be shuttled into camp, so you won’t have to carry anything. Also, there is no wifi at camp and cell service is limited, so prepare to disconnect.

We hope this weekend is a chance for everyone we love to be together in a place that we love! We just ask that you bring a sense of adventure and a willingness to help out. Westwind expects that all guests participate in a final clean out at the end of the weekend and take turns helping with camp stewardship.

We know this weekend is a big commitment! All accommodations, meals, snacks, and drinks will be provided for the weekend. Cabins are rustic (see photos), but they all have heat and electricity. There are two fully plumbed and heated bathhouses with private toilets/showers. We’ll ask for housing preferences and dietary restrictions in your RSVP.
