Mt. Baker Summer Camps
Our Summer Camps invite youth ages 8–17 to discover confidence, teamwork, and adventure on Lake Washington. Participants learn water sports such as sailing, paddleboarding and kayaking. They build skills, and make lasting friendships—all in a safe environment that meets Seattle Parks and Recreation requirements. Financial aid is available, making this enriching summer experience accessible to everyone.
Registrations are now open!
Available in both half-day and full-day formats for ages 11-15, Grades 6-9. Our Multi-Sport camp introduces your child to many boating activities (stand up paddle boarding, kayaking). Other activities may include but are not limited to swimming at our two nearby lifeguarded beaches, as well as excursions to our nearby parks and neighborhoods. All water and land activities are influenced by the weather of the day; sunshine, wind, rain, no wind, etc. Camp activities are generated collaboratively with FUN and SAFE activities as a priority. ***This course requires a float test taken prior to class and a signed Risk and Release/Medical form on file, which you can find at www.mbrsc.com.
