Northwest Service Academy Mt. Adams Center
A Unique Adventure & Learning Destination
What Is The Mt. Adams Center?
The Mt. Adams Center is located in the heart of the Cascade Mt. Range beneath 12,320' Mount Adams, a treasured wilderness region surrounded by a spectacular landscape of forests, rivers, waterfalls, and mountains. The Mt. Adams Center is a non-profit educational organization created to preserve and protect the environment with the helping hand of AmeriCorps volunteers. The Center was established in 1994 as Northwest Service Academy's rural based AmeriCorps program and is operated by the Educational Services District 112, based in Vancouver, Washington. The center has served as the hub for volunteerism in the Mid-Columbia Region for over 10 years. Today we are proud to continue that tradition and have grown to provide a wide array of learning activities and outdoor adventures.
