Weekend Programs

Teen Urban Conifers: November 15, 2025

November 15th Saturday, 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM Ages 13-17 Carkeek Park $75

With the Salish Sea and the Olympic mountains as the backdrop, teens learn to identify trees, plants, birds, and wildlife tracks while gaining connection with the natural world through playing games in the forest and field. There will be an opportunity to learn safe knife skills and the art and importance of fire building and community building with other teens. Teens gain a stronger awareness of their own capabilities while exploring and becoming comfortable in the beauty and gift of the PNW.

Please have your teen bring their own backpack with water bottle and lunch.

*Snacks provided may contain allergens.
