Programs That's a Wrap! This summer camp season was safe, fun and successful. There were only three unfilled spots the whole summer! We are looking forward to designing programs for schools and community this fall.
Social Justice Series Event We are partnering with Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center for a portion of the Social Justice Series. Panelists representing the BIPOC community of NCW will be sharing experiences, answering questions and giving insights on how to make the world more just. The topic is Diversity in the Outdoors. Date in early September coming soon!
Parents, This is For You. Your feedback and ideas are important for how programming moves forward into the fall. Please take a few minutes to fill out this short survey.

Neat Nature Note from Right Here Beaver Skull Unearthed! A couple weeks ago campers found a beaver skeleton and skull partially buried in the sand along the Wenatchee River. The video above shows how neat beaver teeth are! Beavers have ever-growing, self-sharpening front teeth. They have an amazing adaptation to re-grow their teeth continuously since they are often chewing on wood, wearing them down. The beavers on the Wenatchee River are not dam builders, but instead build their homes within the banks of the river.
Thank you to our donors from the last 2 weeks!
