Summer Camp - Teanaway Overnight 1

This exciting week of Tacoma Summer Camp includes one day at our Program Center in Tacoma, followed by 4 days/3 nights camping at the Flying Horseshoe Ranch near the Teanaway Range.

Monday - We’ll spend some time getting to know each other with fun games and ice breakers! Then we’ll prepare for the week ahead by getting dialed in on our camp skills, such as setting up tents, learning about wild animal safety, and how to use the 10 essentials. After a sack lunch down at the Tacoma waterfront, we’ll have some fun on the climbing wall, learn some wilderness first aid skills, and learn how to Leave No Trace while we’re in the wilderness. We’ll cap off the day with some fun games, and final prep for the trip.

Campers arrive Tuesday morning at 8:30 am sharp to prep all our gear and pack it all up. After morning activities and a quick lunch we'll be on our way to camp. Once camp is set up we will have time for swimming, games in the field, and a group dinner. Our evening will be filled with stargazing, riddles and games, and desserts around the campfire.

Wednesday and Thursday will be all about exploring the area on some great day hikes. We will split into younger and older groups, so we can go at an appropriate pace. After our hikes, we'll head back to camp for pool time, games, and a hearty meal.

Friday begins with a big breakfast, camp cleanup, and one short final hike before we head back to the Mountaineers in Tacoma. We typically arrive back in Tacoma between 3-4pm, with final pick up at 4:30pm.  We are so excited to share this adventure with you!

We would love to have 2 -3 parent chaperones/drivers for this camp. Please email sarahh@mountaineers.org if interested!
