What We Do

The main goal and purpose of the Camas Ridge Community Organization (CRCO) is to actively work to support Camas Ridge teachers and staff in their efforts to educate students. CRCO performs three essential functions for the school – communication, community building, and fundraising.

All parents/grandparents/guardians are invited to be members of the CRCO. There are no dues and everyone is encouraged to get involved at any time in whatever capacity they have available. CRCO is a safe, caring learning community based on the Camas Ridge principles; scholarly, creative, compassionate, inclusive, respectful, welcoming, and safe.
