WILDERNESS WORKS™ Camping in tents, sleeping in sleeping bags, cooking outside, carrying all you need, making new friends, and learning to see life from a different point of view! Join 5 other high school students on an extended wilderness camping adventure in Washington's beautiful North Cascades Mountains. You will make new friends while earning the 60 service-learning hours required to graduate from high school. Already earned your service-learning hours? Then think ahead to standing out for college, scholarships, or employment by doing more than just what it takes to get by! The trip includes 5-10 days of trail work and a 7-day backpacking and arts workshop. Your adventure culminates with a public performance/celebration of the poems, stories and visual arts that you create in the backcountry arts workshop back in Seattle! SIGN-UP for one of our trips!

July 12 - July 30, 2010 Ross Lake in the North Cascades National Park Spend 17 amazing nights working, playing, eating, and sleeping in the beauty of the North Cascade Mountains at Ross Lake. The Urban Wilderness Project will do a variety of work from building trails along Ross Lake. We also learn the importance of trail work as we repair tread damage, build switchbacks and cut back of encroaching vegetation. UWP will also assist the plant propagation program in seed collecting of native plants, the pulling of invasive species, and the planting of native riparian species while we help with restoration of Dry Creek with woody debris and willow cuttings. Tuition: Full scholarships are available based on need. Our goal is to make our programs accessible to everyone. Please pay what you can. Sliding Scale $50-$2,100.
