Stop and smell the flowers with us as we explore Topaz Farm, a pollinator paradise! We will get to know hands on some of the animals that help farmers grow the food we eat. With some careful observation we will figure out exactly what those bees and birds are doing as they visit all the different flowers around the farm. We may even get a chance to taste the fruits of their labor!

From rock identification to learning about the rich geological history of how our local landscapes were shaped, our adventures will delve into the fascinating world of Geology. Understand the impact that the Geology of a place has on the ecology and cultures that surround it as we explore different parts of the greater Portland area on the great rock hunt.
Spend the week out on Topaz Farm learning the ins and outs of sustainable farming. Compare and contrast the differences between farm life and wildlife, learn what it takes to sustain a farm and even try your hand at farm work. You will get a behind the scenes look at one of Portland's favorite farms while also exploring all the natural areas Sauvie Island has to offer.
Find beauty and inspiration in everyday wonders as you create a collection of gorgeous photographic art. From flowers and insects to waterfalls and vistas, spend the week capturing what inspires you!
