2023 Summer Camps

The Boathouse and docks are under construction, so our base camp is moving for the near future to South Beach- the swimming area. We’ll have some storage, and good water access. It will limit our capacity short term, and we cannot wait for what the new facilities will allow us to offer, so please bear with us in the interim construction era!

Camper ages: 7-14

Dates:

• July 5-7 (short week)

• July 10-14

• July 31-Aug 4

• Aug 14-18

• Aug 21-25

Mercer Island Expedition

This summer we are going to try something new- a camping, overnight circumnavigation of Mercer Island. We’ll be partnering with Mercer Island Parks and Recreation to camp at Mercer Island parks as we do a complete circumnavigation of the island. It will be a 5 day program, with 3 nights of camping. Here is our plan:

• Day One- Gear & Skills Day- we’ll make sure everyone has the paddling and rescue skills to go on a committing journey, and we’ll do a gear check to make sure everyone will have a comfortable and safe trip.

• Day Two- Paddling & Camp Skills- we’ll practice camp craft and paddling techniques to make sure we are prepared to work together for the upcoming journey. We’ll camp at Luther Burbank to prepare for a morning departure!

• Days Three-Five- Expedition! We’ll carry all our supplies and paddle around MI! The route and location will depend on weather, but our plan is to camp at various MI parks and work on camp craft, play games, and explore while we are journeying.

Camper Ages: 12-15

Dates:

• July 17-21

• Aug 7-11
