From creating art inspired by the forest to discovering the wonders of the outdoors, campers will build confidence, creativity, and a love for nature.

- 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.

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.
