Base Camp

Overnight learning adventures and accommodations in the heart of north cascades national park

Flexible, affordable, enriching and fun, Base Camp offers you the opportunity to explore  “the American Alps”  while enjoying the comforts of our award-winning campus in the heart of North Cascades National Park.

During the busy summer months at North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, we have little nuggets of time here and there— as well as occasional longer stretches of time— not filled by our scheduled programs. These openings in our schedule are perfect opportunities for you to experience the embrace of the mountains and touch of pine-scented breezes. Plan now to visit for the first time, extend your Institute program stay, stop over as you travel through the area or top off to your national park camping, hiking, biking or climbing adventure with a night or more of comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, skilled naturalist-led activity and engaging camaraderie with other guests.

Each night of Base Camp includes:

• Accommodations in our comfortable lodges

• Three delicious meals made predominately with local, organic ingredients

• One optional activity offered each morning exploring the beauty and wonder of North Cascades National Park's amazing mountains, forests, streams and lakes.
