Camp Colman, what place could be better for
new friendships and adventure? All of the tree-house-style cabins are
perched along a wooded ridge and have fireplaces, bunk beds, complete bathrooms
and private sun decks with a view of our lagoon. We also have a Yurt and
a tent platform area for older campers. Our octagonal shelter provides
the perfect program area in case of damp Washington
days. Anderson Lodge is a beautiful eight-sided dining hall and multi-use
facility with floor-to-ceiling windows and a great view of our saltwater lagoon
and Puget Sound. The antique iron
triangle rings outside the Lodge rustling up all the campers to a hot
breakfast. During the camp day, our energetic leaders accompany each
cabin group on all of their adventures. Leaders are college students or
graduates and often have progressed through the camp's leadership
program. Their goal is for all campers to sample as many of the exciting
programs as possible. The personal staff attention allows all campers
individual recognition. A highly trained teen leader who receives intense
staff training assists each cabin leader. Traditional camp skits, songs,
storytelling and comedy acts highlight our twilight campfire each night.
The day ends with campers and staff singing a closing song with their newfound
friends and a song that has been sung every summer since 1912.
