Join one of our naturalists for a guided hike through the woods and along the waterfront.  We can show you some of our favorite spots and help you identify the plants and animals that make this place special. Choose a route that works for your group.  Hikes last about an hour and a half and range from easy to moderate.

If your group isn’t using our meal service, we can still set up coffee and tea each morning of your stay.  Choose a spot that works for you - a central area near your cabin, a meeting room, even the pier!

Whatever brings your group to camp, we can tailor environmental education to your interests and needs.  Our staff can help you choose activities and plan everything from a single session to a full day.  Explore the options below, or reach out for a custom plan and pricing.

Slow down and discover the hidden world of trees through hands-on observation, nature journaling, and tree identification. Campers will use their senses, scientific tools, and teamwork to investigate forest ecosystems, uncover tree relationships, and even test their memory with a fun "Hug a Tree" challenge.

Students will take on the roles of various animals in a food web; they will embark on a journey to find food and water while trying to evade their predators. This high energy, active, outside simulation helps shed light on the predator and prey relationships found in nature. Can be expanded to 2 lesson blocks. 

Students explore how colors and patterns help organisms survive by first observing the landscape, then searching for hidden plastic animals to see which blend in or stand out. They learn four color-pattern adaptations—camouflage, mimicry, warning, and attraction—and apply them while looking for real organisms. The activity wraps up with a game of Camouflage.

Students will explore the tidal zone, learning about saltwater macroinvertebrates, algae, and how they are connected with the rest of the living beings in the Puget Sound. Can be expanded to 2 lesson blocks.
