Summer Camp - Rainier 2

This exciting week of Tacoma Summer Camp includes  5 days and 4 nights camping at our Irish Cabin property near Mt. Rainier National Park! 

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 learning about Mt. Rainier, and we'll get dialed in on our camp skills, such as setting up tents, cooking with stoves, filtering water. After a sack lunch down at the Tacoma waterfront, we'll load up the vans and head to the mountains! Once camp is all set up we will have time for some adventuring before dinner. Our evening will be filled with stargazing, games and riddles, and desserts around the campfire.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be all about exploring and getting great views of Mt. Rainier on some awesome day hikes! Hikes may include Spray Falls and Spray Park, Eunice Lake, Tolmie Peak Lookout, Bearhead Mountain, Summit Lake, and the Carbon River. We will split  into younger and older groups, so we can go at an appropriate pace. We’ll cap off our hikes with some wading in Mowich Lake or the Carbon River, before we head back to camp for a hearty meal and campfire time.

Friday begins with a big breakfast, camp cleanup, and one last short hike up the Carbon River before heading back to the Mountaineers in Tacoma.  We will arrive back around 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 week. Please email sarahh@mountaineers.org if interested!
