40% Off Base Camp Stays in the North Cascades This Spring

Celebrate North Cascades Institute's 40th anniversary with 40% off BASE CAMP LEARNING & LODGING stays at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, now until Memorial Weekend. Spring is a magical time in the mountains — waterfalls flowing, moss-covered forests glowing, and quiet views over Diablo Lake. Migratory birds are moving through the area and it's as peaceful as it gets before the highway opens and the summer crowds arrive. The Learning Center is in the heart of North Cascades National Park 2 hours from Bellingham or 3 from Seattle.

Spend a cozy weekend reading and playing board games in the Wild Ginger Library, wandering forest trails, slowing down with walking meditation, journaling, watching nature documentaries, and gathering around an evening campfire.

Your booking includes guest lodge accommodations, home-cooked meals, and guided and self-led explorations.

More info and booking at www.ncascades.org/basecamp or (360) 854-2599.


        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
