Location: SFI is 1.5 mi. west of Selma,
Oregon, on the
Illinois River Road.
Things to do: Swim in the creek adjacent to
SFI, visit the
Oregon Caves, hike and botanize along the Illinois River
Trail, become familiar
with the Klamath-Siskiyou region.
Housing:

Private rooms have private bathrooms with showers. The dorm
contains two shared
bathrooms—one with a shower and one with a bathtub. The great
room and kitchen
in the Kendeda House are shared space.
The private
rooms are $75/night/person, $90/night/2 persons. There are
four private rooms:
1 with a queen bed, 2 with one double bed each, and 1 with a
double and single.
Bedding and towels are provided.

are not.
Yurts or camping. The large, air-conditioned

electricity, and running water, and a propane BBQ may be
used for a fee. Yurters
and campers supply their own bedding and towels, can use the
solar bathhouse
with showers and toilets, and have access to the great room
and kitchen in
the Kendeda House for
meal preparation
and hanging out.
