About the Residency
About the Residency
Situated on Bainbridge Island, Bloedel Reserve is a pristine, ecologically-focused space where visitors explore the relationship between people and nature. Now, more than 24 years after this treasure opened to the public, select Olympic College students have an opportunity to participate in an immersive learning experience this fall Sept. 15 - 19.
The mission of Bloedel Reserve – Olympic College Residency Program is to foster creative thinking inspired by nature, and to explore the connection between humans and the environment, resulting as a pathway for success as they relate to academic and professional training.
Applications are due by May 16

Attend an Info Session
Interested students are asked to attend an information session and submit an application that includes a proposal of study. Selected students will enroll in a 5-credit Independent Study course for Fall Quarter, earning credit in the area of study that aligns with your proposal. You will spend your class hours at Bloedel Reserve and have access to staff, facilities, and the grounds while working on your individual proposals and collaborating with fellow classmates, resulting in a single, collaborative product at the end of the residency.
