Family Fun!
We
are very excited to add a new activity to the already amazing
repertoire at Alderwood: Geocaching!! Using GPSs,
we can divide into teams or go as one group on a search to find the
treasures & trinkets hidden at the recorded coordinates.
This is a great skill to learn that you and your family can
continue upon your return home.

The Kincaid
family
visited Alderwood Retreat in 2005. Big brother Jacob is seen at the top
of the page reeling in his first
halibut with the help of Captain Stan. Mom Kincaid and little
brother Isaac (& Hunter) wait to see what surfaces.
Papa
Kincaid
and
middle brother Joseph are tidepooling while Sheba, their furry child,
keeps close watch. At Alderwood Retreat the four-legged members are as
welcome as the rest
of the family.

Desiree
and
Kovu enjoyed touring the coastline in our super-stable
recreational kayaks. |
| Vince
and his
daughter relax and take in the scenery on their marine
tour. Newman lies at their feet waiting for our return to the beach. |

With the Moore
family,
we kayaked up
a river to look at a salmon weir.
When the river got too
shallow to paddle any further, I had to help
Dylan get to the bank. (He didn’t wear his boots!)
The
weir channels
the
salmon through a narrow passageway allowing local Fish and Game
employees to count how many salmon have successfully returned to their
spawning grounds. This can offer
opportunity to
view Kodiak bear as they feed.
A salmon bake on the beach
was a relaxing way to end the day for the
Moeller family reunion.
Your
family can
catch salmon and grill it up on the beach the same day, or kayak around
a nearby island and stop for a picnic on a beach along the way. Or
both! However you choose to spend your time, we know you’ll
enjoy having spent your family vacation with us here at Alderwood
Retreat. You’ll have an adventure that is unique to living in
the wilderness of Alaska, and you’ll take home memories that
will last a lifetime!
