SEQUIM NATURE STUDIES PROGRAM
Mondays
Ages 7-14
In this weekly program, the amazing Dungeness riparian zone is our classroom as we create hidden camps, cook over fires and forage for fish and edible plants. Our daily rhythm includes nature awareness activities, challenging wilderness games, and plenty of time to work on natural history and survival crafts.

“(My son) absolutely ADORES CedarRoot. It’s the highlight of his week. Thank you to you, Ramzy and Diego, for being so great to (him). He’s a lot for much of the world and at CedarRoot he gets a break from being “too much” and just gets to be. You have no idea how important it is! ”
“This program consistently provides an extraordinary depth of nature immersion, playful collaboration, independent skill building and social enrichment. It is our daughter’s favorite day of the week - and has been for years!”
“CedarRoot has been a life-changer for our family. We have three children ages 17, 14, and 9 currently and all three have enjoyed the outdoors in their own ways. The new environments and new people, braving the outdoors together really brought out the best in the children.”
“In the age of competing screen time, having access to enjoyable “green” time is so vital. CedarRoot is a phenomenal program offering young people the ability to connect with nature and each other through games in the woods and stories around the fire. Being involved with this program has been enormously beneficial for my child’s personal development and I’m most grateful for the opportunity.”
