Situated between Seattle and Bellingham, in Everett we enjoy access to the spectacular mountains of the North Cascades, Mountain Loop Highway, and Stevens Pass corridors with close proximity to the pristine waterways and recreation areas of the northern Puget Sound lowlands. At this time, we do not have direct youth programming in Everett.

Founded in 2004, the Foothills Branch encompasses the Eastside communities along the I-90 and I-405 corridors, from Bothell to Renton and Mercer Island to Ellensburg. At this time, we do not have direct youth programming in Everett.
Kitsap
In Kitsap, we're committed to bringing outdoor experiences to today’s youth through our youth and family programs. These opportunities offer outdoor recreation skills, self-confidence, self-reliance, an appreciation for the natural world, and a commitment to protecting the outdoor experience.

In Olympia, our wilderness adventures are scheduled throughout the year and are led by experienced Mountaineers. The focus is to have fun and engaging activities for kids such as hiking, rock climbing, camping, backpacking, razor clamming, orienteering, berry picking, boating, and more.
