Shipwrecks, coastal ecology, tidepools, sea otters and the spectacular Olympic coast await. This is a rigorous backpack with bolder hopping and miles of non-trail hiking to cover in order to beat the tide on some days. Participants must be able to hike up to 9 miles over difficult terrain and are responsible for their own backpack, camping gear and food. The instructor will demonstrate traditional and contemporary Japanese and Chinese painting techniques that participants can develop during your stay at Rosemary Inn. Watch the landscape come alive on paper and marvel at your new skills.
Course is open to all skill levels.
Participants are responsible for their own materials. Come and explore fossil and crystal producing beaches and an old mine deep in the forest harboring its crystal secrets. Participants will learn where to look for fossils and crystals, both in the field and in their communities, the library and on the World Wide Web. The instructor uses many different types of fossils and crystals in his exciting and fun filled presentations, and everyone will be able to take some of these beautiful treasures home.
