Facilities  

Among the first things you see when arriving at Sahale Learning Center are a compound of red-roofed white buildings on a ridge overlooking an expanse of meadow, pond, and trees:

Walking around the terraced garden and the cedar decks, you begin to breathe in the silence and peace in which these buildings rest. Experience a quiet  broken only by bird song or at night, deer munching fallen apples in the orchard.

Each of the buildings has a Native American name. Kloshe is the main house, Klahwi is the guest house, and Potlatch is the main dining area. Learn more about our facilities by viewing our images, and using the navigation bar on the left.
