I love that it is traditional camp including archery, zip line, songs games, art, etc. but it’s not overnight! I love that kids who are not ready for overnights, or have parents that cannot afford overnights, can still experience traditional camp! I love that it is lots of screen free outdoors. The camp is beautiful and peaceful. We love the staff!

My kids love the camp!! They want me to sign them up for more. They love the hammock activities! Please consider adding a bus from Sumner Y, we live in Bonney Lake and it is a long Drive to University Place and we could send the kids more if there was a closer east side pick up. I think you could get a lot of kids to do the camp from over here, thanks for considering.

Our daughters' friends also attended. It was a big adventure. Our daughters seemed to enjoy all of the activities while at the camp.

Camp Helena was a great opportunity for our younger child to experience camp without the overnight. We also love the transportation that is provided.

Our kids came home happy, tired, full of stories, and already talking about going back. We’re really grateful for the summer memories they made and would absolutely recommend Camp Helena.

My daughter absolutely loves camp and looks forward to it every year! She’s a very nervous girl and every year she comes back from camp having tried something new and I’m so proud of her and I believe that camp has been so good for her.

My child had a wonderful time and was excited to come back every day. Riding the bus, playing at the lake, and making friends were all we heard about. So glad she has 2 more weeks before this summer is over!

This was my 6 year old son's first year at day camp and he had an absolute blast. He came home everyday with a big smile and lots of fun stories of the activities he did. His counselor (i believe her name was Tinkerbell) seemed to be someone he felt very safe and comfortable with. I definitely think this week of camp was the highlight of his summer and we look forward to attending it again next year.
