Campers will enjoy their days in and on the lake with lots of swimming and time on our ski boats. With a variety of water activities like kayaking, tubing, climbing the “Iceberg”, the water trampoline, and more, campers will stay cool in the summer heat, develop new skills, and have time to hangout with friends. They will also gain the experience of camp life with evening activities, camp-wide games, Bible studies, and a special youth speaker.

Parents' Program
The H2O Resident Camp Parents’ Program takes place on Friday from 7:00 - 7:45 PM in the Jepson Forum. Parking is available in the upper field.  This is not only a time to pick up your child, but to hear a recap of the week at camp, to see the camp DVD for that week, and to fellowship with your camper's counselor. There will be an opportunity to get a refund or donate your camper's remaining store money, pick up a camp DVD, and pick up any leftover medications from the Camp Medic. Campers will also receive a parent packet which includes their camp picture (if purchased) and other important camp information. All campers must be picked up by the end of the Parents' Program.
 

Special Schedules
If your child needs to miss any portion of their camp session, please notify the main office of your schedule conflicts as soon as possible. Notifying your child’s counselor of early pick up times will not ensure your child will be ready when you arrive; please call the main office at (425) 746-9110. Campers that miss a portion of the camp program will not be able to make up missed activities. Should you schedule a pick up for your child in the middle of an activity, they may need to miss the entire activity. In fairness to other campers, boats will not be brought back before the scheduled end time of each activity block. Please check with our office manager concerning the best time to pick up your child if they must leave early.

Exceptions may be made for emergencies or major unforeseen circumstances but must be cleared through our main office.  All visitors must check in at the main office to maintain security on the grounds.
