Summer Camp with a Fancy Name

Posted by Erin Steinkruger at May 03, 2011 10:40 AM |
We're jumping into a summer of celebration. Hiking, biking, eating, dancing, swimming, exploring -- who wouldn't want to come along? Read on to learn more ...

The Greenway vision began with a hike.

A group of friends walked from the top of the Cascades through the forest along I-90 to Puget Sound.  The strength of their vision - striking a balance between thriving communities and intact wildlands - carried them through a lot of hard work, and swept up other friends along the way.

Twenty years later, the Greenway is a reality. Creative solutions have emerged, and folks are excited about moving into the next stage of taking care of our landscape.

The Greenway is turning 20, and we're poised and primed to celebrate. How can we really appreciate our place?  We're going on an awesome summer ADVENTURE!  Come with us!

We will spend nine days walking and biking through the Greenway, exploring shaded forests and taking in sweeping views. We will swim and hang out in nature. We will enjoy awesome community events like rockin' concerts. We will eat yummy food and chill by the campfire. Seriously, could summer get any better than that?!

Folks ages 14-18 get a special place on the Trek.  After all, conserving land is one thing.  Taking care of it is a lot more work. We need you to help lead us into the next 20 years - literally!

To really understand why the Greenway is so special, we're going to get out in it.

Thanks to support from generous donors, young people can join a Youth Team - that's summer camp with a fancy name.  Led by experienced educators, the teams will be part of the Trek, providing lots of fun opportunities to play, hang out, learn, and tromp in the woods. Sweet!

The Bottom Line:

Youth Teams.  9 days.  Fun.  Fabulous.  Summer.  Adventure.

Community.  Good food.  Friends.  Music.

Get out in the Greenway - Join a Youth Team!
