Join us on Earthday weekend at the popular Astoria/Warrenton/Seaside KOA, right across the road from the entrance to Fort Stevens!

Your KOA spot includes all you can eat pancakes for breakfast and use of the indoor pool as well as many other activities, such as volleyball, basketball, mini golf, jumping pillow, giant chess, horseshoes and more! Activities for an extra charge include bike rentals, tie dying shirts and making your own stuffed animal. Families are welcome to host additional activities as well!

There are a variety of options for lodging and camping at a variety of prices – tent sites, RV sites with hookups, cabins both with and without bathrooms and kitchens.

This fee covers supplies and the rental of the space where we will hold a potluck and other activities.

The registration fee is non refundable, but you may sell your spot to another family.

FIRST, call the KOA and tell them you are with the LARK group. The number is 503-861-2606 and you will choose 1 for Registration. Reserve the spot you want and pay the deposit. You can refer to this map in selecting your site. Lodging will be handled by each family individually. Please make sure you understand the cancellation policy set by the KOA. Please DO NOT do the SECOND and THIRD steps until you have booked a site with the KOA!

Contact Lisa at larkunschoolingevents@gmail.com if they are out of the type of spot you want. We may be able to add more to our block if space is available.

You will receive a confirmation email back after I have received your registration fee.

Scholarships: As these events are just starting out, we do not have much available in the way of scholarship funds. We might be able to cover 1 or 2 registration fees, depending on how many people participate or if we get any donations. Let me know if your family is in need of a registration waiver.
