Fort Clatsop Field Trip
/The Sea Lions were fortunate to go on a field trip to the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park at Fort Clatsop. It was an amazing experience to be able to see where the Corps of Discovery spent their winter months after reaching the Pacific Ocean over 200 years ago. We explored the museum exhibit and learned more about the Expedition. We went on a nature walk through the forest and learned about some of the native plants that Lewis and Clark sketched and described in their journals. We learned about artifacts and practiced determining whether different artifacts would’ve been likely to be from the time of the Expedition. A highlight of the trip was when we got to explore inside a replica of the fort that was built by the Corps of Discovery, as well as watching a demonstration firing of an authentic old rifle. The Sea Lions had so much fun learning more about the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and they enjoyed our picnic lunch and bonding on the bus ride.
