CultureSeed is a nonprofit offering Outdoor Immersion & Mentorship in the Columbia Gorge region of the Pacific Northwest.

A rural area with pronounced economic disparities, the Columbia Gorge is also the largest national scenic area in the United States. CultureSeed is the only organization in our region offering year-round Outdoor Immersion and Mentorship for underserved youth with a focus on mental health. Our cornerstone programs are at least a year in duration and many of our youth return year after year. CultureSeed accompanies youth into young adulthood, nurturing interests and supporting them in becoming outdoor leaders.

CultureSeed celebrated our first outing of the school year and National Public Lands Day by going underground to explore the Mount Saint Helens Ape Cave. Our group, joined by an expert guide from MSHI, toured one of the longest lava tubes in North America lit only by our flashlights. 🔦

We also stopped for a short walk over a 2,000 year old lava flow. The coolest part of this trail though was hiding beneath our feet! This ancient lava flow ran through a forest, solidified around tree trunks and left impressions or casts of where they once stood or lay. We got to take turns crawling on our hands and knees through one!

A water filled Wednesday soaking up the August sun! ☀️🛶

We spent the day paddling along the shores of the Columbia River, basking in mountain views, exploring wind protected coves, and spotting native birds all along the way. We saw herons and osprey galore and glimpsed signs of the salmons return to the Gorge!🪶🦅

Wrapped up the day with some yummy ice cream from the famous EastWind Drive-In🍦

What a wonderful way to close out another Summer outdoors together!

Onto new adventures! Best of luck to our recently graduated CultureSeed participants and everyone gearing up for the start of a new school year!
