Back to "Adult Retreats"The Campout at Camp Sealth
September 29 – October 1, 2023
This is an adults-only, glammed up version of the summer camp experience! Can you think of a better way to send off the summer than spending a few days on Vashon Island and reliving the best parts of your childhood summer camp experience? This event is open to camp and staff alumni, friends of camp, or anyone 21+ who wants to enjoy a relaxing weekend enjoying the outdoors.
This is the perfect event to attend with a significant other, group of friends, past camp friends, or by yourself! If you attended or worked at camp, relive some of your favorite camp memories: PJ Breakfast, a dress-up theme meal, songs around a campfire, activities like archery, paddleboarding, horseback riding, and so much more!
The Campout helps ensure the future of Camp Sealth and enabling ALL youth to attend camp
Event proceeds, merchandise sales, and donations directly benefit Camp Sealth youth by helping us reinvest in facility upgrades, funding our campership program, and investing in high-quality staff that are needed to ensure camp’s future. Past Campout events have collectively raised more than $15,000 to support Camp Fire’s mission. Even if you can’t attend the event, help us raise these much-needed dollars by making a donation here.
