Camps

Camp fosters an environment for children to develop their self-confidence and appreciation for nature. It also promotes mastery of new skills and social integration with their peers. Within Snohomish County, there are several camps that provide unique outdoor experiences, for all ages. Snohomish County Health Department reviews plans for new/existing camps and conducts annual inspections to determine if they are in compliance.
