Caregivers

No one-on-one support is provided. Aides and caregivers must accompany a child who requires this level of support. Ratio is 2 staff to 8 campers per group.

We provide trips to the zoo, cookouts, canoeing, nature walks, games, arts and crafts, and daily entertainment. Overnight camps and day camps alternate for 8 weeks from June-August. Camp costs range from less than $100 to slightly over $100, with scholarships available for those who qualify.

Financial Assistance Available

Complete a Seattle Parks and Recreation scholarship application or apply DDA funds.

Campers bring their lunches to day camp, with the exception of one day per week for a cookout. All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are provided at overnight camp. Campers with dietary restrictions, food allergies, or religious restrictions are asked to bring their food, unless an arrangement has been made with camp staff.

Camp leadership staff and counselors are highly training professionals with backgrounds in therapeutic recreation, special education, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and recreation. We staff our counselor-camper groups 2:8. We offer safe, accessible, and affordable summer camp experiences to youth ages 4-21 who are placed in cabin groups according to their age. Campers will have fun exploring nature with a certified naturalist, making friends, trying new things, engaging in sensory activities, and enjoying daily entertainment. Overnight camps are offered Tuesday-Friday, with families invited to join for Thursday night entertainment to get a taste of what camp is all about! Day camps run Monday through Friday, with the exception of the week of Independence Day.
