This week we are going to shake it up and take a ferry ride together! We may even go to the ice cream shop, the Berry Dock (located a block from the ferry) to get a treat after our ride!
Some details on the ferry:
We will be departing from Steilacoom at 10:35am, and we will return from Anderson Island at 11:10am. It is about a 30 minute ferry ride each way. Please be advised that it is recommended to arrive no later than 20 minutes prior to departure as you need to get your ticket etc.
Fares are $5.45 for adults 19 and older, $2.70 for ages 6-18, and $2.70 for seniors and those who experience disabilities. All fares are round trip.
There is paid parking but also street parking if you allow enough time prior to ferry departure to scout the local streets.
Need help paying for your ticket? Please let us know and we will be happy to cover for you!
Remember:
– Please RSVP by 9am on Monday of the walk so we can know who to expect before we start our stroll.
– If you find yourself feeling sick or unwell the day of the activity, we kindly ask you to stay home.
– Be prepared for the heat! Bring water, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, wear a hat to stay cool, and most importantly pay attention to your body. If you feel more tired than usual, too sweaty, like you might throw up, or dizzy? Please let us know ASAP. We will have extra cold water and first aid supplies on hand.
– If you are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask outside. However, if you are close to someone wearing a mask we ask you to wear one to respect their safety. If we go to another location, we may need to wear masks to respect local guidelines!
– Bathrooms will be available for use as needed. Wheelchair accessible bathrooms are available down the street at our Welcome Center.
– L’Arche staff cannot provide one on one support or personal care assistance. If you need either of those things, please be sure to plan accordingly with a caregiver or support person.
