Drawn & Recorded Screening
Drawn & Recorded is an fascinating and beautiful series of animated short stories created by Academy Award winner and 13-time Grammy®-Award winning producer, artist and songwriter, T Bone Burnett and illustrator, Drew Christie. Drawn & Recorded takes on legendary stories of music, often never before told, from the history of popular music — sometimes hilarious, occasionally tragic, but always compelling.

Kayaking with REI
Join REI to bask in the beauty of Tolt-MacDonald and the surrounding valley from the Snoqualmie River. The REI Outdoor School is excited to for you to join us for an hour-long kayak tour.

After some exploration, we’ll turn around and enjoy the float back to the beach for some light refreshments. Register on-site at the REI Camp Kitchen. For your safety, shoes or sandals with a heel-strap are required (no flip flops).
