Travel just 23 miles east from the heart of Portland for a retreat like no other. Camp Crestview

sits on over 50 acres of land, overlooking the majestic Columbia River Gorge and boasting

lush woodlands, wild flowers, nature trails, panoramic views and breath taking sunsets. The

facilities original character remains intact with a full spectrum of modern conveniences added

to enhance your experience.

A Spectacular Setting for Any Occasion

Since 1953, Camp Crestview has welcomed thousands of guests to enjoy its distinctive

warmth and beauty. Edward Ehrman, a Portland wholesale grocer, constructed this

mansion, earlier known as "Ehrmanor," as a summer home for his family. Architect

A.E. Doyle, who also designed structures such as the Multnomah County Library, the

first Menucha mansion, and the Multnomah Falls Lodge, designed this beautiful

structure in the English Cottage style. The Manor was constructed over a two-year

period using imported stone from Italy and the finest cherry wood for its interior.

Located high atop the cliffs overlooking a spectacular view of the Columbia River

Gorge, this original 11,000 square foot summer retreat included amenities such as an

open truss ceiling, three large fireplaces, banks of French doors, tennis court,

swimming pool and a reflecting pond.

In 1933, the Ehrman family sold the estate

to second owner, Jim Roby who stayed at

the manor during the summers. The third

owner, Edwin Hollinshead, acquired the

property and changed the name to

"Crestview Manor" as a place for large

business parties and formal balls. Patrioti-

cally supporting the home front during

World War II , the carriage house and barn were remodeled into apartments to pro-

vide free housing for local school teachers.

Then in 1952, the Northwest District of the International Church of the Foursquare

Gospel purchased the property, developing a whole new purpose for the former show

piece. 1953 marked the first summer of youth and children's camps held at Crestview,

a tradition that continues to this day.

Today

Camp Crestview is owned and operated by the International Church of the

Foursquare Gospel. Crestview serves several thousand guests annually by

hosting camps, retreats, conferences, banquets, weddings and special

events.
