Eliot Institute UU Family Camps – still open!

Eliot Institute has been holding intergenerational family camps for Unitarian Universalists, their friends and families since 1947. Families from as far away as California, Wyoming, Alaska, and British Columbia make Eliot a regular part of their summer adventures. In the before (covid) times, camp spaces would fill up in the fall for the following summer creating a waitlist for those making later summer plans–not so this summer! 

Now is the perfect opportunity to start a new family tradition at Seabeck on the Olympic Peninsula at any one of the summer week-long camps: July 15-22, August 5-12, or Creative Arts week Aug 12-16. Fill your spirits, make music, play in the sun, the woods, and the sea–rack up the swim badges, drum to the polar bear swim, create amazing tie-dye, learn how to row a boat, and make friends. Added bonus: you don’t have to cook for a whole week. Kiersten, UCV’s Director of Lifespan Programs is the Children’s Program Director for August Eliot–and she would love to see more Vancouver faces there!

Camp fees cover all lodging, food, and programming–including the morning children’s program while adults are engaged. Financial assistance is available, and there are still some camp volunteer jobs available that give you camp credit towards the cost (Eliot campers make everything happen).

Camp Blue Boat

What do you want to do this summer? Hang out with friends from UCV? Meet other kids and teens from all over the Pacific Northwest? Swim in a river? Go on a roadtrip? Have campfires every night? Take songwriting workshops? Talk about how love informs our UU beliefs through and through? Ok, that last one isn’t always as popular. But you can do every single one of those by attending Camp Blue Boat in Washington this July!

Blue Boat is a camp with two streams, one for grades 9-12 and one for 6-8. This year it will be July 16-21. And you’ll automatically have one familiar face, because Olivia is working there as a chaplain this year! And because a bunch of our teens have already registered. Blue Boat exists to deepen the connections UU youth have to their communities, to their faith, their sense of what is right in the world, and themselves. In these spaces our teens create a community that feeds their souls. But time’s running out, so register quick!
