BEND 101: Connecting Through the Outdoors—June 3

June 3, 2025 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM (PDT)

Description

 

Exploring Recreation, History, and Community in Central Oregon

Spend an evening with us at Bend 101—a welcoming gathering designed for new neighbors and long-time locals alike who want to deepen their connection to this special place we call home.

In addition to our regular programming, this edition of Bend 101 adds a focus on outdoor recreation and how it shapes our region, our culture, and our future. Through a moderated panel conversation with local leaders Zavier Borja, Visit Bend, Jeff Kitchens, Public Lands Management Expert and Avid Recreationist, and Rika Ayotte, Deschutes Land Trust, we’ll explore public lands access, permitting, conservation, and how we can all be stewards of the landscapes we love.

Meet and connect with local organizations like Oregon Adaptive Sports, Bend Park and Recreation District, Deschutes Trails Coalition, DarkSky Oregon, and more—each committed to sustainability, inclusivity, and preserving the natural wonder of Central Oregon for generations to come.

The evening will also offer insights into Bend’s past, how we’ve grown, and how we can work together to keep our community thriving.

Enjoy bites, beverages, and time to connect at Open Space Event Studios—because Bend 101 is all about learning, belonging, and building community together.

Thanks to our sponsors—The Ladd Group with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Real Estate, OSU-Cascades, Providence Health Plan, City of Bend, First American Title, and Deschutes Brewery!
