Oct 6 – 8, 2023
We often hear from folks in the community that wish they could experience IslandWood like the kids do. And we thought – well, let’s do it!
After a super fun inaugural event in 2022, we’re excited to be back for our 2nd year of Community Camp, this October 6 – 8.
Friends, families, neighbors, and grandparents — this community event is for all who want to experience the fun and discovery of IslandWood.
We are planning to open registration on July 1. Make sure you’re on our email list so you’ll be in the know!
There will be so many fun things to do, whether it’s bonding as a group or taking time to relax on your own! More activities to be included as we get closer to camp such as yoga, lawn and board games, and a campfire sing-a-long.
While we are busy planning the 2023 event, here is the 2022 itinerary so you can get a sense of some of the things that the 2023 Community Camp might include!

An IslandWood experience is never complete without a meal curated by our outstanding kitchen team! Meals and snacks will be offered all weekend to fuel your time of discovery and exploration. Our kitchen team always works to craft meals that sustain a wide variety of dietary needs and preferences with inspiration and creativity. Weekend menu will be posted the week prior to camp.
Stay the weekend overnight in one of our beautiful lodges! Lodging includes one room for two nights and a room will be assigned to you based on the number of people in your group, with a maximum of five people per room. Babies & toddlers are very welcome, but please bring your own portable cribs or pack and plays as needed!
Northwest-style lodges house guest rooms with a combination of single occupancy, double occupancy, and bunk rooms that accommodate up to five guests. All guest rooms have a private bathroom and include bedding, towels, and simple guest amenities. Each lodge contains a spacious log-beam great room with a stone fireplace and cozy seating areas, laundry facilities, and a small refrigerator.
