  • Camas Meadows is an outdoor, off-grid, camp located about 30 minutes from Leavenworth, nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Every night the power is turned off and cell service is limited. 

    Camps are tailored for each age group. In general, the days are filled with high energy, outdoor, activities where campers will most likely get dirty and try new adventures.

    To have a safe and enjoyable experience, campers should be able to exist without screens/internet, follow directions in a group setting, be willing to encounter nature (creatures and weather), eat a variety of foods, change clothes daily, sleep away from home, use the restroom regularly and shower on their own. 

    Camp has a mixture of loud activities and quiet time and campers should be able to regulate themselves for both environments.

  • Yes! Camp is located in a forest with a variety of bugs and insects. We don’t have very many mosquitos, but we do have bees, spiders and ticks. We take precautions when adventuring in the forest.
