NCRD Performing Arts Center (Nehalem)
Being on vacation doesn’t mean you have to miss your trip to the gym. Plus, while visiting Nehalem you can walk through an art gallery, and catch a show, after you pump some iron.
Set in a beautiful historic building at the top of the hill in Nehalem, the North County Recreation District [NCRD] has a swimming pool, exercise center, and a newly remodeled theatre. The NCRD offers drop-in daycare during the summer months and boasts an art, science, and theatre camp every summer. Year-round art shows and musical performances, such as Winterfest make the NCRD a cultural hotspot.
