Join us for a fun family vacation this summer as you explore Olympic National Park’s biological diversity and ecosystems. During your week with us, you and your family will hike in the three major ecosystems in Olympic National Park – forest, subalpine, and marine. While discovering the national park you will have a chance to learn about what makes this place so unique from the wildflower-filled subalpine meadows to the magnificent tidepools. You’ll also have the opportunity to canoe, do yoga, enjoy a campfire, and of course relax on the shores of Lake Crescent. Tuition includes delicious meals in historic Rosemary Inn, lodging and all educational experiences.

Kids need no experience to sign up and learn partner-movement, juggling, acrobatic movement, tumbling and more! The week of learning and play will culminate with a performance sure to awe and amaze.

By studying different artists, students will learn how to make their own versions of the Mona Lisa, The Scream, Starry Night, and other well known works of art. Students will explore perspective, abstraction, point of view and cubism through the use of traditional drawing and painting materials.
