Since the beginning of Mountaineers Youth Programs in 2011, camp has been a staple of our summers, filling the Seattle and Tacoma Program Centers with camp joy every year. As we strive to connect more youth with nature year after year, we’re excited to expand our summer offerings to include week-long camp programs from mid-June through mid-August. Join us for a week, or multiple, full of community building and outdoor exploration at a Mountaineers lodge this summer!
Previously a part of our Seattle-based Adventure Camps, Overnight Lodge Camps provide youth ages 10-14 a week-long residential camp experience. Campers will bunk at one of the rustic Mountaineers Lodges (located at Mt. Baker or Stevens Pass) where they’ll participate in day hikes, onsite stewardship opportunities, games and chores, and exploration around the lodge.
Each week of camp runs from Monday to Friday and programs begin and end at the lodge, with the option of transportation available from Seattle. These camp weeks are great for campers who might be new to overnight camp programs or are looking for ways to grow their outdoor leadership skills and knowledge.
