We hear you're getting ready to visit the OYA Training Academy - and we're looking forward to meeting you! Our goal is to make your visit as effective and enjoyable as possible. Whether you're a class participant, instructor or a visitor to the Academy, we'd like to welcome you and make sure you have everything you need for your visit.

Due to the Academy's location "inside the fence" at MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility, there's certain information we need to share with you. Everyone who works on - or visits - a close custody correctional facility must follow safety and security laws and procedures. We don't expect our Academy visitors to know everything about how things work here. But, because the laws and procedures apply to you too, we need to make sure you're informed. We've created a list of key things you need to know before your visit - and have included some additional things we hope will be helpful:

• Directions to MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility
• Contraband List - lists what you can and can't bring onto MacLaren
• Professional Dress at the Academy - our expectations for dress at the Academy
• Academy Hours and Staff Contact Information - our office hours and how to contact Academy staff
• Woodburn Area Information - a list of state-approved motels and food locations close to the facility

Questions? Please call the Academy at (503) 981-2515 or email our Office Specialist, pamela.livingston@state.or.us. And, be sure to tell us if you need any special accommodations for your visit.

Thank you for your interest in the Training Academy - we'll see you soon!
