Outdoor Adventures

Skagit Eagle Watch Nature’s splendor as few have seen it. Each winter, up to 300 Bald Eagles congregate in the Skagit Preserve. These magnificent and endangered birds are accustomed to seeing only the occasional river boat in their protected habitat, so sightings are frequent. With wingspans up to seven feet, the eagle is truly majestic at close range.

You’ll float calmly and comfortably with other enthusiasts in astoundingly beautiful scenery, watching our National Symbol feeding on the banks, soaring above or perched only a few yards away. Guides are experienced eagle watchers. Trip includes all rafting equipment.

Inspired by the open landscape and spectacular location, renowned architect Robert Trent Jones II remained true to links tradition by creating a unique and authentic waterfront course which provides a premium public golf experience. As the first course in the Pacific Northwest to earn the Audubon Society’s coveted International Silver Signature Sanctuary designation, Chambers Bay is creating a new tradition of managing and protecting water quality and wildlife habitat for the betterment of the environment and the future of the game.

Chambers Bay is a championship course that anyone can play. With towering sand dunes, massive fairways and contoured greens, it provides a true connection to the birthplace of the game. A par 72, walking-only course, Chambers Bay stretches from 5,100 to 7,585 yards on fescue turf from tee to green.

Experienced, knowledgeable caddies are available to carry your bag and lower your score with their advice. A practice facility offers players the chance to improve their skills at the driving range and short game area. A staff of PGA Professionals is available for instruction and private lessons.

Special InterestCooperative PlayIndividuals of all ages and ability levels can enjoy cooperative play games and activities. The games and activities focus on cooperation rather than competition and they can be played almost anywhere with little or no equipment. In cooperative games, no one is eliminated. When the right games are chosen for your group they almost always result in total involvement, feelings of acceptance and lots of smiling faces.

Cooperative Play In-service for Education Professionals, Cooperative Play In-service for Business Professionals, Family Play Nights, and Playshops

Monies generated from Playshops, Family Play Nights, and In-services help to support the Cooperative Play events around the county.
