MEMBERSHIP
As a membership organization, the High Desert Museum seeks to connect individuals and families from across the vast expanse of the High Desert to a shared experience - an encounter with the region's natural wonders and human connections that leads to better understanding and wise personal decisions about natural resources. Online Applications are available at the bottom of this page.
- For children and their families, membership is a means to support animal care and the educational programs that support school-based study and Museum field trips.
- For lifelong learners of all ages, membership is a means to support and participate in the workshops, lectures and special travel study opportunities that make the personal experience even more rewarding and powerful.
- For businesses and community organizations, membership is a way to enhance the cultural and economic vitality of Central Oregon and the State.
The Museum's ability to fulfill its educational mission is made possible in large part by the financial support of thousands of individual, family and business members. Your membership makes a difference - in both your own life, and in the lives of those around you.
