Year-Round Horse Workshops

Session 8
Hard to believe it, but Session 8 is already here! Don't worry -- we're still having just as much fun as we were Session 1. Some favorite camp activities we've enjoyed this week include beach walks, arts and crafts, archery, and more. One thing we're really excited about this week is an Oregon Trail-themed All-Camp Event. Each cabin needs to make a wagon, and tomorrow they'll adventure all around upper camp in search of a homestead in Willammette valley! Not only are we having fun, but we're learning Northwest history too!

Session 7 overnights!
Though there are many perks to living on an island, there's one thing we could do without: Burn Ban. It came late this summer, due to the particularly rainy weather we've had, but nevertheless Burn Ban has arrived. Even though we can no longer start fires at many of the campsites, campers have been making do marvelously. Some cabins cook their meals in main camp before hiking up the hill after dinner to sleep under the stars. Other cabins use propane stoves or have a simple meal like bagels and cream cheese. Still others prefer to go the gourmet way, cooking dishes as complex as lasagna at a fire circle in camp. Above, several Blueberry Hill campers enjoy their delicious meal, cooked by themselves with the help of their counselors, on their overnight campout. Sounds fun to me!

Challenge course and theme meals
In addition to challenge course, this week campers have had a great variety of things to do, including several theme meals: "Space Vampires," hosted by Nocturnal Camp, and today's "Beach," hosted by Horizon (our high school unit). Campers love getting into the costume closet and dressing up!

Camp Session 6

Colour Wars
Double session campers in Village and Horizon had the opportunity to partake in Colour Wars yesterday! A highly anticipated camp event, Colour Wars is a team competition involving challenges of epic proportions. Campers are divided randomly amongst five colours -- this year, purple, green, orange, red, and blue -- and compete for the grand prize! They are judged foremost on camp spirit and sportsmanship, then by their scores in the respective challenges. This year we had a great contest, with lots of fun for everyone. The scores were close, but the winner? Team Orange!
Session 5!
Session 5 is short but sweet! Campers are only here for four days, so they're packing as much fun as possible into every single day. Morning of day 2 dawned, as usual, with PJ breakfast. Everyone loved eating French toast in their pajamas on the first morning of camp! Yesterday evening we had a jungle-themed all camp event, where a good time was had by all. Now, on day 3, we are enjoying the beautiful sun on the shores of Camp Sealth and preparing for tonight’s celebratory Candlelight Dinner and Council Fire.

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.

Session 3 is flying by!
Hard to believe it, but Session 3 is already halfway over! Here at camp, we haven't had a still moment all week -- not even enough to make a quick update here on eCamp.
Sealth is busy this week despite the slightly gloomy weather. Campers have been enjoying overnight cookouts, where they cook their own campfire food with the help of counselors. Harry Potter-themed day camp has broadened the entire community's magical sense -- we've all been waving our wands and shouting out spells! Nocturnal camp is here this week as well, staying up late and going to bed as the sun rises. In addition, cabins have been joining together for enormous games of capture the flag and prisonball. And the brand-new Gaga pit is high on everyone's list of things to do.
We're having a great session so far!

Great fun at camp!
We're having a blast here at camp! Campers have enjoyed cooking pie-iron pizzas and s'mores on their overnight campouts, a Fourth of July talent show, and all sorts of fun camp activities. The Gaga Pit is a hit for kids who like to play sports, and I've seen more friendship-bracelets-in-progress than I can count! Safe to say the kids are having a great time and will be sad to leave when DaBoata comes tomorrow.
