Got Questions?

Transportation will be provided from Eatonville and Weyerhaeuser Elementary Schools.  You are also welcome to drop off your child or to have the bus drop them off.  If you are bringing your child to camp you may drop them off anytime after 3:00 p.m.

Our program ends at 6:30 each day and children must be picked up no later than at this time. Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. so please plan to arrive before 5:30 please let us know ahead of time so we can have your child ready to go. Thank you!

Use the link provided above to go to our Google Form.  Once you have completed the online form you will be sent some additional forms, via email, to be signed and returned.  That’s it!  Easy.

A deposit is not required to hold your child’s spot for this program.  However, if our spots are filling up quickly and you haven’t yet paid for your child’s reservation, we may ask you to either pay or release the spot to another child.

Fees are due as soon as possible and are the only way to guarantee that your child’s reservation will be held.  At the latest, fees must be paid the first day of attendance each week.

We are offering a 10% discount for additional children in the same family.  To make use of the Multi-Child Discount you must: 1.) register children from the same immediate family (all registrants must be siblings living at the same address), 2.) Register all siblings for the same week/s.

Each week will be a mixture of both structured and unstructured discovery in nature. Our goal is to ignite a personal sense of wonder and curiosity in every child, giving them time and space to explore in ways that work for them. Activities will often include hiking, fire building, nature crafts, challenge course elements, and free play outdoors. Every child will get hands on experience exploring in nature rain or shine, guaranteed.

Dinner will be served each night at 5:30pm. Families are welcome to order “to-go” meals for additional members of their family, and/or join their child for dinner at camp. The cost of dinner is included for each child, and additional meals for family members can be purchased ahead of time for $7.00 a person.

  • Please remember that only approved persons, with proper ID, may pick children up from camp.
  • It is best to provide written permission, in advance, to authorize someone to pick up your camper.  Unless you tell us otherwise we will allow the person dropping a camper off to provide information on who may pick them up.
  • Camp will assume, unless told otherwise, that a person dropping off a camper may also pick them up.
  • If children need to be picked up early (prior to 5:30), please let the staff know at drop off, so your child will be ready. Children must be picked up by an authorized person.

Discipline Policy

To provide a safe and enjoyable environment that reflects Christian values, certain guidelines must be followed. If, for any reason, your child’s behavior is considered detrimental to the other campers or to the camp, he or she will be dismissed. You are responsible for providing transportation in the unlikely event of this disciplinary dismissal. Please note that no refund will be given for that weekly session.
