A Lifelong Love Begins
Camp Sealth has permeated our family’s lives for more than 30 years. I started working at camp during college and my sister Anne soon followed. We made
some of the best friends we have ever had at camp. It was my first real job and gave me a real grounding on how to help children grow and become independent in a safe, fun, and caring environment.
Once I had my children, I couldn’t wait for them to turn five so I could send them to the magical place that is Camp Sealth. They came home with stories that were so familiar to me yet wonderful to hear again through their eyes. The songs were the same ones I had sung to them in their earliest years. They kept going back to camp each summer and joined the staff team as teenagers.
I volunteer because camp is what we do in my family! I love going to Camp Sealth each summer because it is isolated and peaceful and played such a huge role in my family’s lives. I donate because I feel like I am making a difference for other families and because I believe that EVERY child, regardless of ability to pay, should have the magical camp experience.
