Olympia Mountaineers After-School Adventure Camp
Join us for after-school programming for monthly afternoon adventures! Youth ages 6-12 can join us each week for outdoor exploring and learning. Programs run for two hours with a small group of other adventurous kiddos of similar ages.
All after-school programs will be conducted in compliance with Washington state and The Mountaineers COVID-19 operating guidance. For further information, please review The Mountaineers COVID-19 response page.
