Camp Nor’wester is an outdoor residential camp where children gain significant skills and insights in a caring and supportive atmosphere, taking advantage of the Pacific Northwest’s coastal character, through a program that is characterized by a commitment to:

  • Develop a child’s maturity and a positive self-image.
  • Provide programming that holds the physical and emotional safety of the child as a paramount concern.
  • Teach children skills and values about responsibility for one’s self, others, and the environment.
  • Provide a community where diversity, tolerance, and compassion are valued, respected, and promoted.
  • Provide a positive outdoor group living experience that helps children develop the skills necessary for productive group and interpersonal interaction.
  • Provide an experience for children that is challenging, rewarding, memorable, and fun.

Mission Statement: Camp Nor’wester provides a unique outdoor living experience where a diverse group of young people is challenged to develop skills that increase self-confidence and encourage respect, responsibility and compassion for themselves, their community and the environment.
