About
Moss Bay Kids Camp is a week-long camp where campers kayak, paddle board, sail, and practice water safety. Campers kayak and paddle board every day in more or less equal amounts, and they can plan on sailing at least 3–4 times a week when the weather cooperates. Campers also experience new boating destinations and games in Lake Union’s protected waterways each day.
• Ages: 6–12 years old
• Schedule: Week-long sessions with camp weeks on 6/8, 6/15, 6/22, 6/29, 7/6, 7/13, 7/20, 7/27, 8/3, 8/10, 8/17, and 8/24; camp starts at 8:45am with drop-off allowed anytime after 8:25am, and after care offered until as late as 5:15pm each camp day
• Price: Kids Camp $575 per child; after care $12 per hour per child
Campers learn to kayak, paddle board, and sail while practicing water safety, and they wear life jackets at all times on docks and on the water. Moss Bay provides life jackets, and campers may use their own if they want. Campers are asked to bring a warm layer, a swimsuit, sunscreen, a hat, a water bottle, a towel, and an extra change of clothes is suggested, along with a sack lunch and snacks each day or cash on Thursday for the option to buy Ivar’s. A rain coat is recommended on iffy weather days, and waivers should be brought on the first day of camp for each session attended.
The counselors thoroughly understand boat-handling safety, are CPR trained, and know the lake, and the camp runs with a 6:1 ratio of kids to counselor or better. Moss Bay reports no serious injury or accident in 35 years of offering Kids Camp. The program follows an “inside-out” learning approach with a supportive, low key approach to skill development on the water and limited structure to avoid eliminating fun, with activities centered on fun, play, safety, and incremental skill development rather than excessive competition and pressure.
