Imagine sleeping under the stars after an active day of kayaking in the San Juan Islands. Now, imagine that
it's a camp!

Kayak Adventure Camp is a camping enthusiast's
dream—sleeping on semi-deserted islands, cooking over an open flame, and ocean kayaking several miles
a day. But it's also a great way to immerse yourself in something greater than yourself knowing the challenge that awaits is meant to help you grow.

PACKING LIST

Every camper is required to bring gear and personal items for the trip, while other items are provided. View the official packing list.

Drop-Off/Meet-Up Locations

All campers and staff travel to San Juan Island—via the Anacortes ferry—together in a passenger van. Campers are responsible for getting themselves to either the meet-up point in Seattle (near Northgate Mall) or in Anacortes. These are also the pick-up locations for campers when camp concludes. *Vehicles cannot be left at either location so campers should coordinate a ride.
