In celebration of Earth Day, North Cascades Institute is offering families of 3 or more $100 off the total registration fee for the Memorial weekend Family Getaway at North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, May 23-25!

(In addition to the Family Getaway, we should point out that we’re offering enrollment in our “Hands to Work: Learning Center Stewardship Weekend” happening May 1-3 — two nights of lodging and six delicious meals for only $40! Learn more here and call our registrar at (360) 856-5700 ext. 209 to sign up!)

Gather your family in the North Cascades as spring riotously returns to the mountains, but leave the tent at home because comfortable accommodations in our cozy lodges offer the excitement of the great outdoors without the complications of camping. Wonderful meals, with the tastes of young diners in mind, are served buffet-style in our lakeside dining hall. Kids and adults will enjoy learning about nature through adventures on the lake and trails, games, arts and crafts, storytelling and scientific explorations. Plus, there will be plenty of free time so your family can do your own thing too.

Hike in towering forests and along rambling streams, canoe Diablo Lake and enjoy stories and songs around the campfire. Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren, families of all shapes and sizes–all are welcome!

Registration includes lodging, meals and all activities. Family Getaways are not eligible for scholarships or the First-timer discount.
