Trip Types:	Beach Walk, Car Camping
Plan:	We will take the ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge, and then drive to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge in Sequim. From there we will go to the Ramblewood ELC at Sequim Bay State Park to spend the night.
Report:	The van ride to Sequim was getting a bit long, so we decided to stop briefly at Camp Ramblewood for lunch before continuing on to Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge. Once at the camp, though, the kids were so excited to be there that we scrapped the idea of getting back in the vans in favor of exploring the camp and the nearby beach. We took plumbers putty and plaster of paris down to the beach where the kids made casts of seashells and we talked about not taking (or leaving) anything in the natural environment. Later that evening they got to paint and decorate thir plaster shells - a huge hit! The evening fun included making "dessert tacos" over the campfire and a nature movie at the park amphitheater. The second day was spent cleaning the camp and a farewell trip to the beach for more exploring. The highlight of this trip was the facility! Camp Ramblewood was the perfect size and facility for our group. The cabins provided a good transition to camping for the younger kids, the fire ring and picnic area was a great place to hang out and play games. The wooded feeling of the camp, combined with close access to the beach gave a nice variety of environments to explore.
Suggestions:	This is a great facility and we will definitely do trips here again.
