Outdoor Summer Day Camps
Nature-Based Learning and Discovery
Our 2021 summer camp offerings will be posted on January 25th and registration will be live on February 22nd, 2021. Thank you!
IslandWood’s outdoor Summer Day Camps on our Bainbridge Island campus and at Brightwater Education Center in Woodinville boost children’s imaginations in rich natural settings. Our instructors are experienced environmental educators with a passion for creating experiences that unlock curiosity and understanding about our environment and our world.
The safety of your children is always of the utmost importance to us, and this summer obviously poses new issues around safety given COVID-19. We have carefully reviewed guidance from the CDC, Washington State Department of Health, Kitsap Public Health District, and the American Camp Association in developing our safety policies and procedures for running camps this summer. As this is an ever-changing situation, we will keep you updated on any changes in protocols and procedures.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mary Meier, Community Education Manager at marym@islandwood.org or 206.855.4361.
IslandWood offers need-based scholarships for our summer camps. Contact Joan Hutchinson at joanh@islandwood.org for more information.
Camps on Bainbridge Island
Through hands-on exploration that builds important social and academic skills, we offer a range of camps from marine science to cooking to journalism…something to inspire every child.
Virtual Summer Camps
Designed to give kids ideas and activities to guide outdoor exploration, our virtual summer camps are a flexible and fun way to spark wonder and ignite curiosity!
From learning more about the plants and animals in your neighborhood, to exploring the natural world through art, to making a difference for the planet through science and engineering, there’s something to inspire every child.
Summer Volunteer Opportunities and Internships
Are you in high school or in college, and like kids and the outdoors? Come volunteer with camp! You’ll work with our educators and campers and gain valuable experience in environmental education.
Opportunities for College Students
Our Summer Programs Internship provides current undergraduates valuable skills in teaching, behavior management, reflection, and community building. Each Intern is paired with an experienced educator to create meaningful, fun, and unique day camp experiences for children ages 4 through 15.
You will start the summer by getting to know our campus, then gradually work up to creating your own week-long day camp experience with the assistance of a mentor.
Strong applicants will be creative, curious, and flexible undergraduates or recent college graduates hoping to inspire lifelong community and environmental stewardship in children.
Opportunities for High School Students
We offer opportunities for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors in high school to explore education as a career path through our Volunteers in Outdoor Leadership (VOL) program on our Bainbridge Island campus. Spend two weeks working closely with our educators and campers to learn teaching techniques for connecting kids with the natural world.
