Camp Blue Boat

December 12, 2025

Due to some key transitions in leadership of camp, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Camp Blue Boat and Camp QUUest for the summer of 2026. In the meantime, we will be gathering information, assessing data and engaging camp families, staff/volunteers, and congregational leaders in a process to determine how to meet the needs of the families and congregations these camps serve.

We know this is likely difficult news for campers and volunteers who have built friendships and had formational experiences over years of attending these camps. We want to acknowledge the grief this news brings, while also giving you ample time to make other plans for next summer.

We’ll be communicating this winter about the process mentioned above. In the meantime, if you would like to provide input about the process or information about your or your child’s experience at camp, please use this form

PNW’s Unitarian Universalist summer camp immersion experience for youth from rising 6th-grade to 12th-grade graduates, with age-specific housing and programming. Campers, counselors and staff will spend time exploring being in relationship with one’s self, others, and the wider world. Understanding relationships is necessary for a healthy spirit and for saving our lifeboat Earth. At camp, youth learn about community, spirituality, justice, equality, and also have a ton of fun! UU Camp is based upon 4 basic pillars. After attending, the youth will be able to:

• Articulate beliefs grounded in UU theology and values;
• Develop spiritual discipline;
• Engage in social change rooted firmly in faith, love, and trust;
• Build personal and religious resilience.

These attributes will take hold through workshops and immersion experiences aimed at exploring a faith-centered life; through time for personal reflection and developing spiritual practice; through fun activities like field games, crafts, hikes, swimming, and bonfires; through a Wilderness Council & Council of Elders, where youth share statements of faith and insights; by engaging in ritual via daily worships and walking the Labyrinth; and through integrated leadership development training, mentoring and modeling, to mention just a few! Come change your life forever… for the better!

Ages: All youth rising to 6th grade through those who have just graduated are invited to attend Camp Blue Boat
