Services
The Estacada/Clackamas River Area Chamber of Commerce is a private, non-profit organization, governed by a board of directors with an executive director who oversees the office and is the general administrator of chamber programs, projects and activities. The chamber offers many direct benefits and services to our members while also providing visitor and relocation information in response to thousands of annual inquiries. Some of these services are:
- Referrals: The chamber is contacted daily for referrals to businesses. We refer all inquires to our chamber members. For other inquiries we refer folks to the area-of-interest Chamber of Commerce.
- Relocation Information: The chamber receives both written and telephone requests from people moving here. We respond with local maps, literature of area, realtor phone numbers, member directory and other information the party is asking for.
- Visitor Information: With tens of thousands of visitors to our "gateway community" on their way to points along the glorious and scenic Clackamas River we see a lot of traffic. We offer maps, brochures, important phone numbers for further information, event guides and calendars on Estacada and other points in the area along with Clackamas County as a whole.
- Situation Updates: During such times as forest fires, flooding, or winter storms/severe weather many people rely on the chamber of commerce for updates of these events.
- Directory Assistance: People have been calling their local chambers of commerce for many years for the phone number for their local garbage service, water company, and even chambers of commerce in other states. Our chamber is no exception as with many chambers. We are here to help everyone.
- Operation of the Estacada Area Historical Museum: We maintain the current museum. This includes the maintenance of exhibits and cleaning. The museum is open during the chamber´s office hours which are Monday thru Friday from 10 am until 3 pm.
The chamber of commerce is one stop shopping for information in many communities. We look forward to meeting you
