Testimonials

The campus is gorgeous, food was delicious and most of all the staff was super-engaged and knowledgeable. We participated in several programs and couldn't have enjoyed them more. What a beautiful and special place! ~ Ally

The perfect place to enjoy nature with small children! My friend and I took our 1- and 2-year olds here and enjoyed hiking and exploring North Cascades knowing we would come back to the laid-back comfort of our lodge rooms and the delicious meals. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. A very affordable option with all that is included: super-clean lodge room, all meals, coffee and tea, well maintained hiking trails around the compound, lake access, and amazing environmental programs led by their staff. We were sad to leave and already have plans to come back! ~ Sara

We had a wonderful 3-day stay at the Learning Center... wish it had been 5 days! A nice retreat with beautiful buildings and healthy meals prepared, and I loved the activities offered and the nearby trails. Our compliments to the staff! ~ Jackie

The staff was amazing. Such a welcoming and inclusive place. I really appreciated the incorporation of native/indigenous stories and history in the programming. ~ Eva

My stay last weekend was life-changing and the staff was so amazing! And the food, oh my! Can’t wait to come back. ~ Ashley

I have enjoyed many adult learning weekends over the years: corvids, wolverines, glaciers, watercolor painting, so many! Now, I am a Base Camp fan, with some activities and hikes, then coming back to gourmet meals and a comfortable, elegant, simple room. It is a joy to support different kinds of outdoor experiences for young people through my stays with you. ~ Cathy
