Seattle Day Camps (off-season)

Seattle Day Camps (off-season)

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 Overnight Camps for campers aged 9-17. We can't wait to climb, swim, sing, and craft with you in Seattle and beyond! 

Registration 

Overnight Camp registration happens through The Mountaineers website and begins January 28 

Day Camp registration happens through The Mountaineers website and begins with a lottery  every January. Once the lottery closes, open enrollment for remaining spots begins early February.

Please note that all of our program registration can be competitive and camps fill up quickly!   

SCHOLARSHIPS 

Scholarships are available for youth courses. We recommend applying for a scholarship at least two weeks before you plan on enrolling  in camp. If your camper will be enrolled in the day camp lottery, consider applying for a scholarship in late December or early January. 

Our scholarships are granted on a needs basis, and all are encouraged to apply. We take into consideration a variety of factors, including income and other participation barriers, student status, and family circumstances.

Programs 

We offer several different types of camp programs in Seattle: Day Camp and various overnight programs. To learn more about each program visit our Day Camp FAQ, Seattle Camp Overview page or reach out to our summer camp team. 

Day CampS

Join in on the adventure with the Seattle Mountaineers! Day camp is based out of the Seattle Program Center at Magnuson Park for campers ages 6–12 and runs from 9am to 4pm each day. Each week consists of rock climbing, outdoor skills, swimming, games, crafts, and camp songs.  Additionally, every week has a field trip relating to the given theme.

CIt Program 

Join us in Seattle for a summer of camp magic, adventure, and fun! We’re excited to offer Counselor In Training (CIT) opportunities to teens and camp grads aged 13–17. Join day camp as a volunteer over the summer to learn the ins and outs of being a camp counselor and hone your leadership and camp skills.  

Applications for our CIT program open in February and are accepted on a rolling basis until our schedule is full.
