Sound Policy Institute has two exciting programs planned for 2025!
If you are interested in either program, contact Sarah Petrillo at spetrillo@pugetsound.edu for more info on how to sign up!
Rafting
First up: a rafting trip in Hells Canyon during the first half of spring break (March 15-19th). We will take five days to raft and camp riverside, while learning about water policy and environmental issues on the Snake River. The total cost is $500 and includes everything: food, gear, guides, and transportation. We hope to see you on the river!
Hiking
Want to have an adventure this summer? Join us for our third annual Pacific Trail Program! We will be taking 10 days at the end of August to hike the Wonderland Trail: a 93 mile backpacking loop that circumnavigates Mt Rainier. Enjoy the alpine meadows, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking mountain views of Mt Rainier National park while learning expedition planning skills and natural history of the area. Total cost is $350 (including gear, transportation, food, and instruction). This program also fulfills the experiential learning requirement for graduation! No previous backpacking experience necessary!
