The Willamette Valley Soaring Club is a nonprofit organization located in the Portland area and dedicated to the sport of soaring (flying gliders). We hope to introduce you to the wonders of soaring by taking you up on one of our rides. Perhaps you will like it so much that you will want to learn to fly a sailplane yourself. If you are a current or future pilot, we invite you to become a member. Our glider port is conveniently located near Portland, Oregon (directions). For gift certificates, please email us.
We are in media outlets such as KPTV 12, Andy’s Adventures, and OPB Oregon Field Guide. Please find us on Instagram.
We operate in close coordination with the Seattle Glider Council in Ephrata, WA.
