Shelli Markee

get it while you can

Since the beginning, the Field Trip Society has reserved the month of August for family adventures. There is simply too much beauty and fun to be had in the Northwest to compete. Instead of scheduled field trips, we hope to see you around town on one of these fun outings. We’ll be back at it after Labor Day with a packed fall schedule, until then SOAK IT UP.
