The photography and naturalists committees have teamed up for a weekend of events at Baker Lodge. This is a great opportunity to share our love of the outdoors together and develop an enhanced sense of connection.
To participate in the weekend activities, you will want to sign up to stay at Baker lodge for all, or part, of the weekend.
