Camp Wa-Ya Summer 2025 Program
Registration for Summer 2025 will open on Wednesday, February 12th
We’re still working on details for 2025 but check out our tentative schedule below (including new Day Camp programming for ages 11-13)!
More information about all of our camp programming and our new registration system will be posted in January.
Day Camps - Ages 6-8 or 9-11
Join Camp Wa-Ya for a week (or more) of fun in the Olympia area. Campers spend their time exploring the forests, mountains, and waterways of the South Sound on a different adventure each day.
Due to popular demand, we’ve included FOUR weeks of Adventure Time in this year’s schedule. Adventure Time 9-11 includes one night of camping at a nearby state park and Adventure Time 10-12 includes two nights at a different park!
**New for 2025 - Camps for Ages 11-13
We heard that our older Day Campers wanted programming just for them and we listened! Join other tweens for a week of camp that goes beyond our programming for younger kids. Options include overnight backcountry trips, a new road trip program, and several weeks of Day Camp with extended adventures.
Adventure Camps - Ages 12-17
Join Camp Wa-Ya for a week-long overnight program as we kayak or backpack through some of Washington’s most beloved locations. Our trips are great for beginners and require no prior experience! Each Adventure Camp is a 5-day program focused on outdoor adventure and environmental stewardship. You will spend your first day on-site in Olympia learning and practicing the skills you’ll need for your trip and developing your route and meal plan for your journey. Then for 4 days and 3 nights you’ll embark on either a kayaking or backpacking adventure!
*NEW FOR 2025: Wa-Ya on the Road - A road trip, Wa-Ya style! You and your instructors will travel around Washington and Oregon via 12-passenger van as you explore the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, camping along the way.
*Note that some weeks’ trips are for youth age 11-13 and others are for 13-17 year-olds. All of the trips for younger kids will be 4 days and 3 nights (no camp on Friday); trips for older kids are 5 days and 4 nights. If your camper is 13 and new to overnight trips, we recommend they join one of the shorter trips.
