FIELD TRIPS - 3RD SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH
10:00 AM UNTIL 2:00 PM

Our field trips are available year-round, offering you the opportunity to observe and experience ecosystems. Traveling as a group provides students with the chance to interact and bond with our volunteers, tour guides, and each other, helping to establish a supportive community system. Field trips take place rain or shine and include a snack and a journal. Please bring your own pen or pencil.

The prices for each field trip are as follows: $3.00 per student, $6.50 for adults, and $5.00 for seniors (55 and over).

SEATTLE JAPANESE GARDEN

This garden invites our students to journey through the varied landscapes of Japan — mountains, forests, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, islands, and the sea. Along the journey, students will read haiku, a playful way of learning how to hear the syllables within a word, breaking down words into smaller and smaller chunks. This will help students to see the patterns within language and improve skills in 'sounding out' words. Writing a haiku of their own doesn't take long. For more information, visit
