Summer Camps - Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Carnation and more!
From
a parent's perspective, the organization of their course is exceptional...and
they passed on to the kids a desire to learn more and connect more with
their world. -S.P.
Since 1995, Wilderness Awareness School's Summer Camps for ages
4 - 18 have cultivated young people's understanding and appreciation
of nature, community and self. Through exploration, adventure, and creative
play, students work together in small groups gaining knowledge of plants,
mammals, tracking, birds and survival skills. Our highly trained instructors
guide students into experiences that nurture their connection to the
earth and build skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
