When we say “the great outdoors,” we mean it.

Pack a bag. We’re gonna take your breath away.

Awesome. As in, "you will be filled with awe."

Six times a year, Tivnu trades the excitement of Portland for the wonders of nature. We take advantage of the region’s most amazing places to bond with one another, reflect on our journey thus far, and have a whole lot of fun.

I was amazed by the incredible diversity of the Pacific Northwest ecosystems – we explored coasts, forests, snowy mountains, deserts, and rivers! I loved experiencing the vast Oregon outdoors with the people that I love

Trips with a purpose

Hike through waterfalls, take selfies at the overlook, measure your height against the petrified trees. Learn, or teach a friend, how to snowshoe or paddle a canoe. Connect with Oregon’s Native history. Sing around the campfire. Discover things you never knew about your friends, or share some surprises of your own at the talent show.

Go out to the wild. Come home to a broader world.
