Directions to the Cottage Grove Campus

Aprovecho   80574 Hazelton Rd.   Cottage Grove, OR 97424

The best time to come is for our open house, the first Sunday of every month at 2:00 pm.

Take Exit 174 off of I-5 (approximately 20 miles south of Eugene). Go west off I-5 towards Cottage Grove. Follow traffic, bearing left onto Hwy 99.

Turn right at the second stoplight (Main Street), and go through the heart of Cottage Grove and west out of town.

Main St automatically turns into CG-Lorane Hwy. Watch your mile markers...

Turn right on Hazelton Rd immediately before mile marker 5.

Go to end of pavement (1/2 mile), then follow signs to Aprovecho down another 1/2 mile of gravel drive.

Once you pass the big "Aprovecho" sign, veer right at the fork and drive up to the top of the hill to park
