Summer Programs at Camp Sealth

Camp Sealth.....An experience of a lifetime!
Located on 1.5 miles of beach on Vashon Island, Washington, Camp Sealth’s pristine location provides areas for swimming, boating and beach activities. The 400 acres of woods filled with trails, wildlife and remote campsites provides the setting for daily adventures. Fun, friends and new adventures away from home create a valuable and memorable experience. Each child brings home a new sense of self-confidence, independence, teamwork and social skills that last a lifetime. The entire Camp Sealth staff is dedicated to enriching children’s lives.

There is a low tide this day! Special guests include sea stars, moonsnails, crabs, clams and YOU!

The Journey To Camp
It all begins on a boat! We charter the “Goodtime II,” which departs from Fishermen's Terminal in the Magnolia area of Seattle for an exciting and memorable three-hour cruise to Camp Sealth on Vashon Island. On board, anticipation builds as children meet a few staff members and new friends, sing and get into the spirit of camp! Transportation is available from Pt. Defiance ferry dock in Tacoma, but we highly recommend the Goodtime II, affectionately called “Da Boata!”
