What is Camp Seabeck?
Taking place in scenic Hood Canal with the gorgeous Olympic Mountains as a backdrop, Camp Seabeck is a special place. As you arrive, you will cross the bridge over the old mill pond with rowboats floating there now instead of giant logs. Once settled in, there are plenty of activities for everyone. Mornings feature classes for each age group with a speaker series for adults. Afternoons offer a variety of activities and evenings feature special events. Some campers stay busy all day while others spend time sitting in rocking chairs, reading on the front porch of the Inn or taking a nice long nap. While the week's schedule is filled with many options, you get to choose whatever you want to do.
