Day Programs in Seattle, Woodinville, and in Renton

DAY PROGRAMS
IN SEATTLE,
WOODINVILLE, AND RENTON

Connecting Classrooms to Community

We partner with teachers to connect classroom curriculum to watersheds and other built and natural systems in or near where students live. Our day programs are designed to support schools and teachers, reinforce student learning that happens in both formal and informal settings, broaden the idea of “environment” to include urban systems, and emphasize human impacts on ecosystems.

We strive to be learner-centered, culturally responsive, and adaptable to participants and the needs of their community.

We offer day programs at King County’s Brightwater Treatment Plant in Woodinville and South Plant in Renton, on the Duwamish River, and in parks in Seattle.

“This was a truly wonderful science experience for my students revealing both natural habitats within an urban setting as well as our responsibility to ensure they remain. My students saw their own potential impact upon their world and better recognize how humanity and nature intersect.”

-Brent Hinson, Teacher at Lowell Elementary

IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.

While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
