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. Hurry to register! Popular programs fill quickly. Registration
opens November 21 for next summer's programs.

No reservations necessary.
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!

In 2005, several buildings were renovated. The old character
of the dininghall "Rounds Hall" was retained while
the building was structurally reinforced and winterized. Three
of camp's showerhouses were rebuilt, and two new program rooms
added including a new craft center and multipurpose room.

She
had a great time. It is a time of growth for her just being
away from home and having to be responsible without us
being there.
