Inspired by our beloved otter mascot, the Sequim School District recently hosted the second annual Otter Raft Campout, a special event designed to celebrate connection, support, and unity; just like sea otters linking together in floating “rafts.”
During the campout, students explored the natural environment, engaged with Indigenous culture and heritage, honed leadership skills, and strengthened their sense of community. It was a hands-on, immersive experience that combined outdoor adventure with meaningful learning.
This unforgettable opportunity was made possible thanks to the dedication of Ms. Germano, Ms. Sara Benjamin, and Mr. Paul Pinza, whose hard work brought the camp to life. The district also extends heartfelt thanks to the Sequim Education Foundation and 1st Security Bank for their generous support, as well as the many family members who volunteered as chaperones, your involvement helped make this campout truly special.
Through shared experiences and teamwork, the Otter Raft Campout continues to inspire students to grow together, just like the sea otters that inspired it.
