Each day at Westwind provides variety and choice. Each camper will spend time with their unit at our major program areas (Waterfront, Arts & Crafts, Challenge Course, and Archery and Games at our Tillicum Barn). There will also be times for cabin groups to choose activities as a team. Some examples include a hike, outdoor cooking, fort building, or canoe excursion, but the possibilities are truly endless! Every camper will go on an Overnight while at Westwind. On the Overnight, units spend a night under the stars, cooking on a campfire, playing games, and taking in the beauty of Westwind. These experiences allow campers to gain camping skills as well as enjoy the natural beauty of the Westwind property.
