One-night gatherings at the Learning Center

For centuries, Native people, miners, loggers, hikers, fire lookouts, climbers and dam workers have gathered together around campfires and shared stories of the upper Skagit Valley, the mountains and what lies beyond. Nestled at the foot of Sourdough Mountain, our Learning Center is a fitting location for intimate gatherings of Northwest artists, writers and naturalists sharing their own stories from the region.

Each gathering in our Sourdough Speaker Series takes place in our lakeside dining hall and features an informal gourmet Saturday night dinner of local and organic foods prepared by our chef, Charles Claassen. A fireside presentation by our guest speaker will follow, with plenty of time for questions, discussion and getting acquainted with others. Your ticket includes overnight accommodations in our comfortable guest lodges as well as a continental breakfast and optional naturalist-led activities Sunday morning. Dress is casual, of course. Your ticket letter will include travel directions, check-in information and other details. Attendance is limited to 40 guests; $95 per person for each event.
