Special Family Weekend
Memorial Day Weekend, 2010

This Memorial Day Weekend event at Camp Sealth is a fabulous opportunity for families with children with special needs to experience the outdoors in an inclusive, supportive environment.

What will we do?
Sleep in heated, camp-style cabins, and enjoy delicious meals cooked for you by the Camp Sealth staff. Walk the beach, play in the sand, hike in the woods, bike, fish, row a boat, canoe, do crafts and archery all weekend long. Sing songs around the campfire, make s’mores, and get to know other local families with kids with disabilities and make some new friends!

Kids Club and Teen Club
Parents can have a couple of hours of respite care while talented Special Sitters and weekend volunteers provide activities and supervision for the kids.

Biking for all!
If your child has never ridden a bike before, adaptive bicycles will be a thrill. They are provided by the Outdoors For All Foundation (formerly SkiForAll). Children of all ability levels will find a bike they can take out for a spin around camp!
