DESCRIPTION
Adventure Salmon Camp was held for sixth through ninth graders in August of 2008. Seventeen children attended this overnight travelling camp. Young people were provided with opportunities to explore Hood Canal's diverse watershed first-hand while gaining knowledge in relation to the salmon life cycle, its role in the ecosystem and salmon related issues. Campers traveled around Hood Canal and participated in numerous activities such as kayaking, snorkeling, aquatic and terrestrial investigations, tracking, games, art, journaling and discussions. The influence of salmon to the culture of the northwest was portrayed as well as learning traditional knowledge from our tribal neighbors. An appreciation for the natural environment is gained while learning how to become a better steward at this unique camp.
