Looking for summer youth activities? CAMP has an exciting opportunity for families with children entering the 4th, 5th and 6th grades. CAMP has partnered with IslandWood Learning Center (www.islandwood.org) to send 12 youth to their week-long overnight camp.
At IslandWood’s “Sleep-Away” Camp, educator’s combine scientific inquiry, technology and the arts to help Puget Sound-area students discover natural connections with the outdoors.
