Madi grew up in Hillsboro, OR, and holds a degree in Environmental Science and Policy from Southern Oregon University, where she also earned a minor in Education and a certificate in Environmental Communications. With a deep passion for environmental education, community engagement, and protection of natural spaces, she is excited to spend her career in fostering connections between people and the natural world.

Madi has worked in various roles involving environmental outreach. She served as an intern with Jackson Bottom Wetlands in Hillsboro, contributing to nature programs and developing successful outdoor educational activities. During her time at Southern Oregon University, she worked as the Student Director of the Outdoor Program to create inclusive outdoor experiences and led adventure trips in Southern Oregon and Northern California.

When she’s not working, Madi spends most of her time outside, hiking, camping, and exploring with friends. She also enjoys traveling to new places, adventuring with family, and crocheting hats for all her close friends.

Thanks to funding through the Measure 99 Outdoor School Initiative The Crest has built heated, covered ADA-accessible wall tents at the gorgeous Willow-Witt Ranch that can hold up to 60 campers. The rental of the off-grid campground includes the use of a lovely, updated outdoor kitchen, a tent camping area, a bathhouse. Gender neutral bathrooms and a nurse’s station are being built, estimated to be completed by 2025.

We would love to share this wonderful resource with other organizations/groups who are looking for a safe, inclusive, wilderness site to host camps and events.

Rental costs are based on a sliding scale, please contact us directly for more information.
