The Depot
The Depot was built in 1914 for the Oregon Shortline Railroad. It functioned as a freight room, baggage and ticket office, and waiting room as well as a second story home for the station agent. It was moved from its original site in 1986. The Depot is now our primary hub at the Cascade campus, where we host our students, programs and campus gatherings.
Stay at the Depot
The Depot is available for guests and group stays when it is not occupied with students or other YWAM programs. Our beautiful space is perfect for those seeking a personal getaway with God, those in ministry needing space to debrief and refresh, or groups pursuing focused retreat or further training. The Depot is a quiet, peaceful place to stay as you journey with God.
