Offering field-based education about Northwest environments, the Institute provides learning adventures for all ages. Learn the ancient art of basketry from a respected Lummi weaver. Using traditional techniques, you will learn to prepare native plant fibers for weaving, then fashion a stunning basket of Western red cedar bark, wild cherry bark, and bear grass. Take home a treasure woven by your own hands. On Sunday evening the detectives and the suspects gather on the stage of the theater to play out and solve the murder mystery.
Participants are eligible to win prizes such as weekend getaways.
The one-day trip includes daypack, trail snack, water, fishing gear, lunch, and first aid kit. Photo adventurers provide their own camera and film.

Guides use their vast wilderness and hiking experience to ensure a safe, fun, low impact, and memorable adventure.
