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.

  • Carry equipment and personal belongings up to 100 yards

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.
