Tippy-canoe!

Just a little taste of what campers experience this and every week: the Tippy-canoe drill! As a part of certifying campers to participate in waterfront activities, they have to complete a simple swim test and the Tippy-canoe. Campers ride out about 20 feet in a canoe, capsize it themselves, then flip it right-side up and paddle back to shore. This demonstrates that they know what to do in case of an actual flip while canoeing or funyaking! Of course, our Camp Sealth lifeguards are there the whole time to make sure everyone is safe and secure. Once campers pass the swim check and Tippy-canoe, they are free to participate in waterfront activities. The photo above shows some cheerful session 4 campers tipping their canoe into the chilly Puget Sound!

Session 4 is here!

Excited campers exited DaBoata to singing and dancing counselors as Session 4 began at Camp Sealth. We're at full capacity this week -- there are over 250 kids here on the shores of Vashon Island, enjoying the gorgeous weather and camp environment. Today on the agenda: Fairy Tale theme lunch, archery, arts and crafts, and Picnic Dinner. Sounds like a blast!

Final full day of Session 3

It's Sunday now, which means that tomorrow our beloved Session 3 campers will be heading home on DaBoata and DaBussa. It's been a fun-filled week with lots of all-camp events -- notably a life-sized board game extravaganza, a talent show, and a Counselor-In-Training-produced Gold Rush game! We're exhausted here at camp ... in a good way of course. There are smiles on the faces of each and every camper.
