June Recap

We are halfway through 2023 and we have done so much! Although rainy and gloomy, we had a fun yoga session at Green Lake during our last Clean & Cruise. Thank you to Karina from the True Adventure Collective for leading our yoga session and for our volunteers who stuck it out in the rain. If you're looking for a badass yoga/hiking retreat, you should check out True Adventure Collective's retreats!

Our Shellibrating Ocean Science with Sea-Bird Scientific event at Surf Ballard was very informative. We learned so much! Thank you to our guest speaker and our hosts. Sea-Bird Scientific also has some awesome job opportunities for our ocean-loving friends. We can't wait for the rest of 2023!
