Starts With You

what makes sami special?

SAMI offers a complete outdoor education pathway which includes an Outdoor Education class for every incoming 9th grade student, an advanced trail class for upper classmen, a rock climbing class, and an annual backpacking trip in the Cascades with 25 students every June. 

We are thankful to our community partners for program support, the Mountaineers Club and Edgeworks Tacoma help with gear, permits, supplies and transportation.

These programs are  expensive to run, and cannot exist on public funding or partner support alone.  

Please consider donating to or joining the SAMI Booster Club today, and be part of what makes SAMI, and our students, exceptional.

When I went backpacking I got really connected with the forest. It helped me rebuild my relationship with Mother Nature.

Getting more people involved in nature is the most important thing we can do
