At first I didn’t want to go to outdoor ed, but after, I wanted to go again. I wish school was as fun as outdoor ed. Joey, student, Forest Park |
Adult Classes and Programs Academic Adventures has expanded to provide high quality adult programming and classes that feature the Pacific Northwest. Classes focus on subject areas and activities that combine well to take us to new levels of learning. Since 2004 we have worked closely with Skagit Valley Community College's community education programs to provide a variety of youth and adult programs and classes. These have ranged from Natural History by Kayak, to Aging Gracefully, and Vegetarian Lifestyle and cooking classes. Beginning fall 2009 Skagit Valley College has re-started its community education offerings on a limited scale and we will be providing occasional classes again through SVC. In addition Academic Adventures will continue to provide content rich and activity based courses for the active and inquiring mind. Our classes will change periodically so please check back often. If you would like to receive periodic updates of new course offerings please contact us. We look forward to seeing you in one of our courses soon! Sincerely, Andrew J.

Signs of Spring by Sea Kayak -See you on the Water! Spring comes to the Islands first each year! As we kayak we'll watch for the harbingers of spring - birds, flowers, and marine life - as they return and reveal themselves. Biologist Andrew Rice will be your guide throughout. As a long time naturalist and guide in the San Juan Islands, he brings the beauty of the Puget Sound to new life. This class is not a lesson in kayaking. Some paddling experience is required. Students provide their own kayak and equipment or may rent. There may even be a ferry trip to the Islands for a class! (Students responsible for ferry fares.)
