Optional Day Trips:

Oregon Language Center students aged 18 and older are invited to join Albany residents on day trips led by the City of Albany Parks and Recreation Department. There are limited spaces available and pre-registration is required. The city charges a fee for each trip, which may be prepaid on-line to the Oregon Language Center when you enroll with us. We will deliver your registration and fees to the city to reserve your space.

In the event that a trip is cancelled or sold-out, your trip payment will be refunded. However, there will be no refunds to anyone who pre-registers and then fails to attend.

The Oregon Language Center is not affiliated in any way with the City of Albany; however, we encourage our students to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to explore Oregon and converse with local residents. Make-up classes will be available for students who miss class while on city-sponsored day trips.
