Summer Camp - Mini Mountaineers Camp - Olympia - 2026

Youth Program

Mini Mountaineer Adventures

A nature-rich half day summer camp for preschoolers that encourages curiosity, creativity, and outdoor exploration.

Each day, campers will explore the natural world through outdoor play, simple adventures, and hands-on nature crafting using found and natural materials. From creating art inspired by the forest to discovering the wonders of the outdoors, campers will build confidence, creativity, and a love for nature. 

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM at the Olympia Friends Meeting House. Parents are welcome to drop campers off as early as 8:30 AM.
  • Day Camp is for kids ages 4-7. Children must be able to use the restroom independently. 

Where does Camp start and end each day?

Camp runs Monday - Friday: Drop-off and pick-up at Olympia Friends Meeting House (3201 Boston Harbor Rd NE, Olympia, WA 98506). 

What does a typical day at Camp look like?
Each day is filled with engaging, hands-on activities that teach campers how to explore the outdoors while having fun, staying safe, and respecting nature. On the first day of camp, we focus on getting to know our campers through games, group activities, and an introduction to outdoor skills. Throughout the week, campers will explore a variety of trails in Squaxin Park, enjoy playground time, and participate in age-appropriate curriculum such as basic first aid, arts and crafts, learning the 10 Essentials, shelter building, and more. A detailed daily schedule will be shared with registered families prior to camp.
