Camp Sealth, Summer youth camp in Vashon Island, United States.
Camp Sealth is a youth summer camp located on Vashon Island off the coast of Washington, situated across forested areas and wetland terrain. The facility features beach access along Puget Sound, hiking trails, and buildings designed for lodging and group activities.
The camp was founded in 1920 on Blake Island before relocating to Vashon Island in 1921, where it has remained for over a century. The program evolved over time to serve a wider range of participants and adapt to changing community needs.
The place serves as a gathering space where young people spend time together learning outdoor skills and participating in group activities like campfires, arts and crafts, and water activities. Visitors notice the emphasis on building friendships and developing confidence through shared experiences in nature.
The camp is surrounded by water, so boat transportation is the main way to reach the property, with services available from the mainland. Programs run during summer months and accommodate different age groups, with choices between day visits or overnight stays.
The camp has maintained a long partnership with a health organization that provides specialized support for young participants with specific medical needs. This collaboration allows children with certain conditions to fully participate in regular activities without restriction.
