A Washington education & conference center

Located on the shore of Lake Crescent, in Olympic National Park, we partner with the park to provide outdoor science education for school groups, conference and retreat facilities, professional development, and Elderhostel programs.

School & Group Programs

Since 1987, we have provided residential, environmental education programs for schools, grades 4 - 12, and other groups. Our natural classroom, Olympic National Park, features countless opportunities to study ancient forests, wilderness coasts, and alpine peaks. Programs are experiential, inquiry-based and aligned with state learning requirements.
