The San Juan Nature Institute offers a selection of courses and lectures each season that we hope will inspire people of all ages to participate in the lifelong process of learning and discovery.

We use the beautiful San Juan Islands as our outdoor classroom; an intricate tapestry rich with unique opportunities to explore the secrets of the natural world around us. Our instructors come from a variety of backgrounds, each with a passion for nature that you will find delightfully contagious.

Join us as we explore our varied and unique
island environment!
