An Evening of Nature, Delicious Food & Connection
IslandWood was built explicitly for discovery — so that children, educators, and community members could discover more deeply the natural world around them. With our Dine & Discover series, we invite you to discover!
Discover our trails, treehouses, canopy tower, and suspension bridge. Discover something about your community and maybe yourself.
Join us on our Bainbridge Island campus for the perfect evening including an appetizer reception, live music, a beautiful meal with wine pairings, and an optional hike through our 250 acres of trails. What a delicious way to support IslandWood’s innovative environmental education programs. We only host this event four times a year, so we hope you can make it!
