The Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg runs eight weeks of full- and half-day summer art camps for youth ages 3–15. Younger children's half-day camps (ages 3–5.5) meet 9am–noon Monday–Friday, with teen ceramics studios and a middle-school game-design camp for older kids. Campers explore visual art, crafts, clay, theatre, dance, and nature.

★★★★★Michelle RowlandI can’t say enough positive things about chehalem cultural center. Our family have attended various events, camps, classes through the last several years. I really want to give above 5-star rating for the art camps over the summer. The well-trained staff, the positive interactions each day, and the schedule/consistency they provide for children when they are out of school. I want to give a huge shout out to not only the staff during those summer months, but Clara-Liis who is caring, understanding, and compassionate! Without her customer service, kindness, and flexibility, I would have struggled in various ways. Thank you for all the hard work everyone puts into the camps. You guys are doing something great for families in the communities and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way!! YOU GUYS ROCK. Thank you for giving children space to create in a safe place!
★★★★★Beverly EstesI can't say enough good stuff about the ceramics instructors. I have been taking classes from one of them for nearly two years. She is pretty awesome. She brings the fun into learning that helps students get past the inevitable clay disasters. I can't review CCC without mentioning their core values. The want art to be accessible to everyone. When I started I was in a bad place with my health and on disability that only pays 60% of your base salary. I desperately needed a creative outlet that could accommodate the double vision I had developed. Everywhere that I called had class prices far out of my range. But CCC not only advertised their desire to make art açcessible, they actually do. Their scholarship program has made possible a miracle in my life, helped me fight off depression and PTSD. I love this place so much I drive down from Portland.
