Three times a year we spend Friday-Sunday on Johns Islands as a small group working, cooking, eating, singing, sleeping, and having fun together. Rain or shine, volunteers help get Camp ready for the summer and include current and former staff, alumni, and their companions (must be 18+).
There are projects for all skill levels and abilities. Whether it’s your first time on Johns or you’re a current staff, come spend time at Camp in the off-season.
Join in celebrating 90 years of San Juan Spirit at Camp Nor’wester. We are hosting a family-friendly event at Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center in Seattle (5011 Bernie Whitebear Way). This is an opportunity to connect with camp friends, celebrate shared memories, and meet folks from across the generations of Camp Nor’wester. There will be dinner, drinks, and of course dances and singing.
