Seattle Mountaineers Summer Camps

Seattle Mountaineers Summer Camps

Seattle Youth Programs are happening in modified ways through Spring 2021. We are monitoring the process of reopening closely and will continue to share updates and changes as they occur. For further information, please review  The Mountaineers COVID-19 response page. The Summer 2021 camp offerings listed are contingent upon King County's phase of reopening in May 2021.  

Join us in Seattle for a summer of camp magic, adventure, and fun! We're excited to offer Day Camps for campers aged 6-12 and Adventure Camps for campers aged 10-14. We can't wait to climb, swim, sing, and craft with you in Seattle and on the trail! 

Teens interested in joining us for summer camp are invited on Camp Alumni Adventures, beginner backpacking trips for 14-17 year olds, or to apply for our Counselor in Training Program, a leadership development program for 13-17 year olds. Learn more about both programs by clicking the buttons below.
