Spring Escape is an opportunity for alumni, parents, friends of Camp Fire, or anyone age 18+ to spend the weekend at camp, explore the outdoors, try some new activities, and connect with friends!
Thanks for joining us March 6-8, 2026, for this year’s theme: “Sparkle and Shine at Sealth.” Come back later for more information about Spring Escape 2027!
Event Details
Schedule
Check in Saturday morning and enjoy a full schedule of workshops, lunch and dinner, plus evening activities and a silent auction. Stay overnight and join us for more activities and brunch Sunday morning before checking out.
There are also options to stay over on Friday night or attend for the day only on Saturday.
Workshops
For this event, you will make your workshop selections while registering. We will use your selections to create your personal workshop schedule and send it to you two weeks prior to the event. Follow the link below to preview this year’s workshop options!
Silent Auction
A highlight of Spring Escape is a silent auction to raise money for Special Family Camp, a retreat for families with children with special needs. Typical auction items include handmade artwork, wine, gift baskets, and other goodies! To donate an item to the auction, either complete this online form, or contact Pat Kishline at p.kishline@comcast.net at least one week prior to the event.
Craft Exchange
We offer a craft exchange table at Spring Escape – bring any miscellaneous or leftover craft supplies you have to share, and check out what other people have brought. Any leftover materials will be donated.
Merchandise
A selection of merchandise featuring the annual theme design is available for pre-order during registration. Choose from t-shirts, quarter-zip sweatshirts, full-zip sweatshirts, and hoodies in sizes adult small through 3XL.

Facilities
Meals
Meals provided this weekend include lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and an early cereal bar and late brunch on Sunday. Meals will be served buffet-style in our dining hall. Most dietary needs can be accommodated, so please provide any dietary restrictions during the registration process. Our coffee and tea bar will also be open during this event.
Lodging
Camp Sealth’s facilities are rustic but comfortable. Our all-season cabins have heat and electricity, as well as twin beds with foam mattresses. You will need to bring your own bedding, including sleeping bags, pillows, and/or sheets/blankets. Bathrooms and showers are located in separate buildings in each cabin area. Limited Wi-Fi is available in some camp areas but not in most cabins. A limited number of accessible cabins are available. See photos of our cabins here.
For Adult Retreats, attendees are assigned housing based on preferences outlined in registration, and may stay in the same cabin as other attendees. If you are attending with friends or family on separate registrations, you may request to stay in the same cabin or a nearby one.
Location
Camp Sealth is located on Vashon Island, Washington, with 360 acres of pristine forest and over a mile of private beach along Colvos Passage. To reach Vashon Island, you will need to take a ferry from Tacoma, West Seattle, or Port Orchard. Please check the WSDOT website for ferry schedules and ticket prices.
