IslandWood Summer Camps at the Brightwater Center invite children to discover a new way of seeing nature, themselves, and one another. In doing so, each person comes to understand their ability to change the world for the better. At the Brightwater Center, IslandWood operates traditional day camp programs for campers entering 1st grade through those entering 6th grade.

Summary

Summer Programs Instructors are responsible for leading educational programming using curriculum that integrates science, technology, arts, teambuilding, and adventure learning. IslandWood’s Summer Programs serve children entering 1st through 6th grade and include mentoring teen volunteers (Volunteers in Outdoor Leadership/VOLs) for the summer. Brightwater programs take place at the Brightwater Education Center in Woodinville. The Center is located on King County property and includes a wastewater treatment plant, 72 acres of natural area, and a state-of-the-art learning center, laboratory and exhibit hall. Our camp programs utilize the features of the Brightwater Center including the ponds, streams, well-equipped laboratories, and the wastewater treatment plant itself. Additionally, select camp sessions will have opportunities for staff to take their group on off-site field trips to nearby parks, beaches and other natural spaces using IslandWood’s 12-passenger van.
