c3:initiative at Camp Colton

c3:initiative's rural campus, located in Colton, OR, provides thinkers of various disciplines an opportunity for secluded research, reflection and wellness retreat. Invited participants are provided with living accommodations, studio space and access to buildings on the grounds, such as the historic chapel, and the newly developed letterpress studio. Residencies on the Colton campus are ideal for projects which rely on limited administrative support.

We at Stelo humbly acknowledge that our programming is being held on the traditional lands of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many other Tribes who made their homes along the Columbia (Wimahl) and Willamette (Whilamut) rivers.

​We offer respectful recognition to the Native communities in our region, and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. We recognize the continual displacement of Native people by the United States and are committed to working to dismantle the ongoing effects of this settler colonial legacy. Please join us in respecting the contributions Indigenous peoples have, and continue to make to our community, country, and world.
