Transportation
Charter busses leave from Kirkland (10 miles east of Seattle) and go directly to camp on the opening days and return to Kirkland on closing days. Camp vehicles are available to meet campers arriving by plane, train or bus. Camp will gladly assist with any transportation needs from distant towns and cities.
*Voted "Best Kids Camp" in the Northwest by viewers of Evening Magazine.
“I was totally moved to see all of the campers piling off of the bus at the end of the session.
They were a bit grubby, scruffy-haired, laughing, sun kissed and smiling ear to ear...the way kids should look after a camp experience. Thank you!”
