Olympic

Longtime partner REI donated 250 sustainable “Outdoors for Everyone Poncho” to our Olympic campus, helping all kids feel like they belong by ensuring that they stay dry and comfortable during programs in the often inclement Pacific Northwest weather.

We caught up with 2018 NatureBridge Student of the Year, Marisa Granados, an environmental steward and climate activist who is already accomplishing big things.

This summer, NatureBridge welcomed 63 Alcoa Scholars to national park campuses. For two weeks, students immersed themselves in the natural world to discover, collaborate, investigate and backpack in these two national parks rich with history, unique biodiversity and beautiful, remote wilderness.

While in the backcountry, Alcoa Scholars collaborated to design and implement a science investigation. As a part of the closing celebrations, each group shared the results of their research in a short presentation. 

On Tuesday afternoon, the second session of Olympic Alcoa Scholars returned to Lake Crescent ready to take a shower and share their stories from the backcountry. Discover what they learned!

On Sunday we welcomed another 10 Alcoa Scholars to our Lake Crescent campus in Olympic! Read all about what session two of Olympic Alcoa Scholars have been up to at Barnes Point.
