Washington Summer Camps - for the time of your life.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

-Margaret Mead

As a parent, you want the best opportunities for your child. We know that a quality Washington summer camp experience can have a profound, positive and lasting impact on a young person's life. Camp offers a unique opportunity to enhance a child’s development, and should be considered an essential part of a child’s education. 

 

Great camps thrive on nurturing kids’ natural abilities. Campers are encouraged to be curious, and education driven by curiosity is a truly transformational opportunity. Camp is a place where kids can “come of age”, benefiting from new experiences that serve as a catalyst for growth. It is a place where kids can feel safe being themselves and accepted for who they are. 
 

With supportive leadership, Washington summer camps help campers learn to be more independent, without the safety net of Mom & Dad close at hand. Campers gain confidence by learning new skills, successfully completing challenges, and working together with new friends toward common goals.

​

A Washington summer camp can be many things, among them:

fun activities, epic adventures, exciting journeys,

exploring pristine wilderness in Washington,
thrilling outdoor excursions with new friends,
new skills, quality time in nature, personal growth and so much more!
