Boata arriving at campTransportation Options

There are three transportation options to get to/from Camp Sealth for overnight camps. No fees are charged for any transportation method, and you may select different arrival and departure options.

  • Seattle:  “Da Boata” departs from downtown Seattle at Pier 56
  • Tacoma: Camp vans depart from Pt. Defiance Ferry Terminal
  • Vashon: Drop-off and pick-up directly at camp on Vashon Island

Selecting & Changing Transportation

After you register, complete the Transportation Form at least two weeks prior to camp to let us know your transportation plans. You can change your selected transportation options at any time by logging in to your account, up to two weeks before the camp session starts. We ask that you not change your transportation within two weeks of camp, or during the camp session. Space is reserved in vehicles and on Da Boata based on the number of campers registered.

Late Arrival Policy

To ensure campers receive important safety information, become familiar with camp, and build connections with their cabin group, campers are expected to arrive on their scheduled check-in day. Late arrivals are strongly discouraged; however, if unavoidable, campers may arrive on Tuesday before 12:00 PM with prior approval from Camp Sealth. Arrivals after 12:00 PM on Tuesday or on Wednesday and later cannot be accommodated. Camp fees are not prorated or refunded for missed camp days unless the absence qualifies under an existing refund policy.

If your child must arrive late or leave early, you are entirely responsible for transportation to and from camp.
