    Bride and Groom in a canoe at NatureBridge Olympic on Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park

    As a wedding photographer, I love NatureBridge more than I can say! There are so many different options for photography, and the history of the area is so interesting and multifaceted. I've photographed a wedding here nearly every year since 2011 and I'll never get tired of it. The staff are unfailingly enthusiastic and helpful, and the salmon dinner is always fantastic.

My kids were engaged and laughing the whole time. My son recently had his 11th birthday party over Zoom with Majestic Adventures and afterwards he gushed more about how much fun he had, than I think he has ever done for any of his in-person parties! The story-telling talents of the MA staff are SO GOOD and we are huge fans.

In Adventure Quest, the children and teens become the heroes of an incredibly fun and dynamic quest, working together in a mythical and magical world to overcome interesting challenges, solve mystifying riddles, brainstorm unique solutions to puzzling dilemmas, and swashbuckle with foes. The campers experience the excitement and confidence that comes from banding together to defend their village, solve a perplexing mystery, or negotiate a peace treaty.

The counselors are enthusiastic, supportive, and clearly care about creating a safe and memorable experience for every camper. My child came home each day full of stories about the outdoor adventures, new friends, and exciting activities like archery, canoeing, and campfire songs. One of the things I appreciate most is how the camp helps kids grow in independence. Away from their usual routines and screens, campers learn to make decisions for themselves--whether it's choosing a new activity to try, solving small challenges, or managing their time during the day. That sense of ownership builds confidence and resilience. Camp Seymour also does a great job of encouraging goal setting. Each camper is guided to set personal goals--big or small--and work toward achieving them. It might be something like trying the climbing wall for the first time or learning how to paddle a canoe. These goals help kids feel accomplished and proud of what they can do, especially when they step out of their comfort zones and succeed. The camp's values of community, respect, and personal growth really shine through in everything they do. It's a place where kids can be themselves, try new things, and build skills that stick with them long after camp is over. We're already looking forward to next summer!

She was excited when we signed up, but a little apprehensive when I dropped her off. I was nervous that she was a bit too young, but this was definitely not the case. She came home wanting to go right back, already talking about next summer, and how she wants to work with her when she is older. The staff are wonderful, they have great food, including a vegetarian option for her (so important), and it's a beautiful place. Definitely recommend!

While my daughter seemed to enjoy herself and spoke positively about the experience, the overall setup left me uneasy as a parent. Camp Kirby is located on a small island about 35 minutes from Bellingham. The setting is rustic and remote, and you have to drive very slowly down a long road to reach it. It's an unusual place, quiet and tucked away, but also far removed from anything else. The biggest issue for me was the lack of transparency and connection with the camp itself. Drop-off and pickup were tightly controlled: you wait in a long car line, staff approach your window, and then you're expected to drive off. There was no opportunity to meet the counselors, interact with other parents, or even glimpse the facilities. I asked nicely twice during the week if I could just see where my daughter was spending her day, and was told both times to email the director due to camper privacy. I understand wanting to protect kids, but other Camp Fire locations I've attended have found ways to balance privacy with openness. Here, I left every day with no idea what the camp looked like or what was going on inside. Communication was also minimal. Other camps send daily updates with photos and summaries. At Kirby we received one brief email and a photo album with a single blurry side photo of my daughter. I strongly recommend that Camp Kirby improve transparency by posting photos or videos of the grounds and facilities online. Even a virtual tour would go a long way toward helping parents understand where their kids will be all week. As it stands, I still have no idea what the space looks like. They offer one open house in the spring, but unless you live nearby, that's not realistic. The counselors seemed kind, though a little overwhelmed. And while my daughter's experience may have been positive, I genuinely don't know, because parents are kept completely at arm's length. I wouldn't recommend this camp unless you live nearby or already know someone with firsthand experience. They need to build more trust with parents and provide a clearer window into what's actually happening during the week.

    My experience at Camp Orkila is from the 1970s. Not sure of…read moreour particulars as to how we got there other than it was either through Y-Indian Guides (which despite being a really great experience between fathers and sons has likely died as the whole gender confusion thing we got going on struck a political nerve somewhere), or through the school system. This camp provided a common experience that I have had positively reinforced over the years with business associates, sports club members, through area social activities and many other events with people who were local to the Seattle area as children. It was a bit rough and we came home a bit hungry and smelling like campfire. This was the best way possible for us as kids from the pavement of greater Seattle to begin to understand Puget Sound, native populations and history and the rich forests that were everywhere past the edge of a parking lot. So, it is with some sadness that I read how some reviews here seem to miss the points that really made this place a valuable and safe learning environment for me and my peers. I was split up from my friend group and bunked with kids I didn't know. I hated it I also badly needed to have that experience despite it's ommission from the brochure. I think, and deeply, that those times allowed for fewer expectations which in turned allowed for a more broad perspective as to our control or lack of it, our marriage to nature It would become of immeasurable value in the kids who would grow up to be the stewards of the PNW. I understand the change of time as much as I understand how some qualities should not and don't change with time. Camp Orkila delivered both. Not like in the myriad of camp pamplets I see now, but in ways even the Camp did not necessarily include as part of the spiel. Thanks Camp Orkila.

Asides from this, all I have to say is that they hardly let you have any cabin time to relax except for nights and a few minutes in the morning.

Going into camp I was a outgoing person but on the inside I was still scared, I was still not ready to show who I really was and I didn't think I could be myself around others. After 7 amazing days with 50 other amazing participants and a staff so unbelievable I can't even think of words to describe I don't have those fears anymore. I'm happy with who I am and I'm not afraid to show it. I've only been to this camp once, in grade 10 and I am super excited to be attending again this summer as a camper once again. I cannot wait to meet new people and new staff and do new activities and just have camp running through my blood again! I want to say thank you to the staff and participants that made my experience at The YES so amazing. As an added bonus I met my best friend at camp, and even though we don't live on the same land mass we still are inseparable because of our amazing camp bond, or at least I like to think so. I would highly recommend this camp to ANY teenager out there, leadership camp may sound cheesy to you but I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart it's life changing.

I've been going to these camps for 4 years, 5 this summer. Starting at the beginning of highschool, grade 9, and not really knowing where life was going to take me. But I found out about this camp, and I took a chance. "Leadership camp" sounds kinda cheesy right? But it was worth it. From getting on a bus and meeting all these exceptional youth with a desire to change the world, to going to bed each night surrounded by youth that care and love me for just being myself. Utter strangers, turning out to be the best friends I have ever had. It doesn't matter where you come from, the past you've had, or anything that happens at school / home. Coming to the camp, you can cast away your worries, and spend that time being yourself. Not the person that you've been shaped to be through school and society. If you want to sing your heart out, then you can. If you want to do something crazy, there will be people who will happily join you. Why though? Acceptance. Pure and utter acceptance for everyone you spend that time with. When I came to the camp, I had no idea where life was taking me. Spent everyday going through the motions of life, but not truly experiencing anything. But through the love, acceptance, and general atmosphere of camp, that has entirely changed. I live my life how I want to live it, not to be controlled by others. If you're considering signing up, or signing up someone else for the program, I would highly recommend it. A week away from the city, out on a lake, full of youth, and having the time of your life. What do you have to lose? Nothing. An experience worth more then anything in the world is what you will find. You might find yourself happier then you ever have been, making the best friends you've ever had, maybe even crying at the end once everyone has to go their own way. This program has changed my life, and I don't know where I would be without it. If you're even just thinking about it, take the chance and try. I guarantee you'll have fun :) . I'm returning this summer for my 5th and final year, with addition to applying for staff. Whatever may happen, I have loved the program, and hope that it continues to touch others lives like it did for mine. ~Brennan Dusik
