Ken McCann & The Northwest Center For Environmental Education present:
Summer Camp with the Whales, Eagles, Porpoises, Otters, Seals, Birds and Plants
of The San Juan Islands
Ken McCann [The Whale Man] is proud to announce the illustrious beginning of
"The Northwest Center For Environmental Education," a non-profit organization
located at the beautiful "Madrona Center" on San Juan Island. Students of all
ages are invited to participate in adventures and activities designed to
enrich, enlighten and educate.
Activities will include:
* Whale watching
* Kayaking
* Ethnobotany
* Shoreline habitat exploration
* Bird watching
* Astronomy
* Fun, Music & Games
The Madrona Center is superbly adapted for our needs and we feel extremely
fortunate that owner Jayne Atkinson is so much in tune with our goals and
purpose. Many of you will remember Jayne as the actress who played the part
of the boy's mother in the movie "Free Willy". Jayne will be on site and has
indicated her desire to share an evening with the students. Facilities include
a large bunkhouse, geodesic dome, and a full kitchen.
Each week will include wildlife cruises around the islands, a visit to the
Whale Museum, Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, and Westcott Bay
Oyster Farm. Extra curricular activities will include musical entertainment
in the dome, special guest speakers, and games. Your participation is eagerly
anticipated and I personally look forward to renewing acquaintances with many
of you. Tammy Haldeman of Northwest Excursions will be bringing 20 Japanese
Junior High students for the week of August 19th, so for those of you
interested in sharing a week with students from Japan, this presents a
wonderful opportunity.

Week 2 August 6 to August 11
Week 3 August 13 to August 18
Week 4 August 20 to August 26
