Meet Our Team
The Salish Sea School is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, inclusion, and connectedness. We are able to grow and learn better together with a diverse team. We welcome the unique contributions that one can bring in terms of their education, opinions, culture, ethnicity, race, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, languages spoken, veteran’s status, color, religion, disability, sexual orientation and beliefs.
We are stronger together with the collective sum of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talent which ultimately brings about a healthier planet.

Family Camp!
Family Adventure Camp 2024 enrollment open NOW!
We are so excited to invite you to Quaker Cove Retreat Center on beautiful Fidalgo Island for summer family camps! You can bring the whole family or make it a special time for one parent/caregiver to spend uninterrupted time with a child. We have intentionally planned a time for families to unplug, connect in nature, play, laugh, and relax together to make memories to last a lifetime.
We have included plenty of time to play in the shallow water of beautiful Similk Bay on the Quaker Cove private beach. There are four canoes and life jackets available for use at no extra charge! You are also welcome to bring your own canoe, paddleboard, or kayak.
You will enjoy a campfire with S’mores and roasted apples, Experience Nature Calm (family mindfulness) along with a Family Nature Craft. On Friday we will set up camp, play some active Family Nature Games, learn about our Salish Sea Feature Creature, take a hike and enjoy a campfire meal and music before bedtime.
Your family will also have time alone to enjoy flying a kite on the private beach and exploring an intertidal scavenger hunt On Sunday we will share breakfast, a Family Nature Craft and a TREK Family Adventure before departing at 11:30 am.
