Your child's best camp starts here

“"I really like the staff...they're so nice and supportive whenever you need them".”

“This is our son's 3rd summer at Mondamin and he has been eager to return since the moment he left! He turned 10 there his first summer and will turn 11 this summer while at camp and there is no better way he would want to spend his birthdays than at Mondamin! He enjoys all of the activities, but has become fascinated by sailing...something we do not do with him at home, at least not yet. The camp is exactly what I would picture a boys camp: rustic, lake, rope swings, animals, learning how to make a canoe, etc. The people who run the camp are amazing, and they find awesome counselors. We very much enjoy the detailed weekly letters from his counselor updating us on what he is up to since he does not often slow down enough to write home. He went on a 3 day climbing trip this past week. We love the independence such trips help them develop. Plus, they have to take the initiative to sign up, prepare for it, and many trips are something they work towards (for safety based on ability). Their location is amazing for access to all things outdoors and their weather is much milder than lower elevations and southern regions. We are fairly sure he will return every summer and eventually be a counselor.”

“When I came here I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with my future...by experiencing all of these subjects I've got a better picture of what I want to do now. I have learnt a lot and I am ready for my future.”

“My three boys have been attending Olympia since the eldest was 7 years old. He is currently 17 and is part of the waterfront staff. My second oldest is looking forward to taking the 3 week leadership program next summer. The youngest, aged 12 , still loves all the sports and activities Olympia has to offer. It is hard to imagine a summer without Olympia in their lives.”
