Day 1: Arriving at Seattle-Tacoma Intl airport, your Alpenguides will greet you and introduce you to the rest of your group. On this fast-paced adventure, we'll leave the airport just as soon as all campers arrive and drive 2-3 hours to Olympic National Park. We'll have plenty of snacks along with us for general camp introductions and "getting to know you" games while we drive to our first campground. Upon arrival at our campsite, we'll enjoy the first of many delicious and fresh "camp gourmet" meals, set up our tents with our tent mates and have another giggle or two before falling asleep on our very first night at summer camp!
Day 2-4: After morning yoga we'll pick up our backpacking permits and drive to the beach backpacking trailhead near Forks, WA to start our introductory 2-mile backpack trip out to Hole in the Wall on Rialto Beach for 3 days of beach games, tide-pooling, campfires and stunning sunsets. Note: Yoga is an integral part of all Alpengirl camp itineraries and the start to most days. We complete this portion of our trip with swimming and camping on the shores of Lake Crescent.
Day 5-6: Enjoy a 4-mile (one-way) overnight backpack trip starting in the rainforest and ending at Deer Lake in the heart of Olympic National Park. Alpengirl backpacking route and distance selection is dependent on trail conditions, group camping availability, weather and group interests and abilities. Our last hooray together will be soaking in a natural hot spring pool and making our own pizza's for our final evening of closing celebrations.
Day 7: Departing from Seattle-Tacoma Intl airport. See you next summer!
