Seasonal Big Activity

Several times a year, ALPS organizes a Seasonal Big Activity, such as a summer visit to Mount Rainier National Park, a fall visit to a pumpkin farm and Deception Pass State Park, a visit to the mountain village of Leavenworth, and a springtime Seattle Mariners Major League Baseball game. Students who wish to participate pay an additional fee of $50-$200 for the Seasonal Big Events.
