Olympic Peninsula Adventure (Sun-Fri) (Overnight)
Document Actions
Travel into a land of rugged coastlines and mysterious forests, and discover a world seemingly forgotten by time. You’ll explore tidepools teaming with life and walk on beaches few feet have ever trodden. You’ll go in search of the remains of an ancient village of Native Americans who lived off the Sea, and learn the techniques these brave people used to hunt the largest of all prey, the mighty whale. We’ll hike to the very tip of Cape Flattery, the most Northwestern point in the continental United States, and look across the straight of Juan de Fuca to Canada. We’ll even visit the lonely town of Forks, made famous in the Twilight movies, and check for any of those completely mythical, but still scary, vampires!
We’ll be camping in our own private site on the coast, and we’ll experience several of the Olympic National Park’s very finest hiking trails and beaches. You’ll make a map of the region in your own journal so you can lead the way on your next family adventure. Between our studies of Marine Biology, the massive trees of the old-growth forest, and the ways of the Makah Tribe, we’ll find plenty of time to play on the beach, dig in the sand, and sing around the campfire.
