The Camas Educational Network (CEN), located in Eugene, Oregon, USA, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and encouraging interest in field-based approaches to learning in primary and secondary education. Our focus is on education, preservation and mitigation of natural resources.

Get Involved!

We provide students hands-on learning in the field. Our school campuses are developed upon historic wetlands. Our campus is the wetland system. A single wetland, regardless of size, is a microcosm of biological and chemical cycles, a complete functioning ecosystem that provides a web of life for all surounding species, including humans. Imagine the learning opportunity this landscape provides.



"To create learning networks engaged in restoration."

A short walk out the door of the classroom opens up endless opportunities for students to participate in hands-on field study on myriad subjects that would otherwise be learned from a book or recreated in a laboratory.
