IMPORTANT UPDATES REGARDING YOUTH CAMP 2025:
Dear Youth Camp Families:
On November 6, 2024, we reached out to you informing you of our plans to change the format of Summer Youth Camps at Ferry Beach. In that letter, we requested help from the community in seeking a paid coordinator to help us pilot the new program. We provided the deadline of March 15, 2025 to find a coordinator before we would make a decision on 2025 camps.
Unfortunately, we have not had anyone come forward to coordinate Youth Camps and have made the difficult decision to postpone another year. We will continue our search for a coordinator and keep you posted on any updates as they occur.
We know how much our Ferry Beach youth treasure this camp and hope we can bring it back in the future. We still want to provide youth camp families with the opportunity to come to Ferry Beach this summer so we are offering a 25% discount of program fees and lodging (for youth camp families only) to come to our Sand & Stars family camp from June 28 – July 5, use discount code "Sand & Stars" when registering. We will also be allowing personal retreats at a discount during June 22-28th (the scheduled youth camp week). Please consider joining us for one of these weeks, we'd love to have you with us this summer at Ferry Beach!

*New Change to Youth Camp* There will be no overnights solely in the custody of Ferry Beach, parents must be on campus if their children are to stay at Ferry Beach.
Youth Camp is a place where youths come to have the opportunity to explore, grow and create lasting relationships.
Summer 2025 Program Offerings:
The goal of Youth Camp is to tie in the amazing camp experience with the mission of Ferry Beach by helping campers grow in the areas of: Arts & Culture, Education, Spirituality, Sustainability, Personal Growth and Justice & Action through their preferred interests at an age appropriate and engaging level.
In the Morning, each camper selects an activity focus for their Morning Tracks: Spiritual art, Theater for the soul, or compassionate Outdoor adventures.
The Afternoons will consist of stand-alone workshops planned and implemented by youth and adult staff together. Workshops have included volleyball, dance, drawing, trail walking/ecology exploration, and other group games. Of course, there is always time for hanging out with friends on the beach.
Evenings are spent relaxing and socializing during planned activities such as socials, a bonfire and singing. There will also be a bridging ceremony for the seniors that cannot be matched.

Kids for the Earth (KFTE)
Fourth and fifth graders who are just coming into their own voices find our summer camps a place where they can practice their new-found independence.
|
Different Drummers (DD)
Middle school youth struggle with “now that they have found their voice” what do they really want to say? Our youth camps provide them an opportunity to design and build their own ways of expression through video, art and other mediums
|
FUUTURES
High school youth are gently guided in our summer camps in discussion and activities that help them navigate the freedoms they are experiencing as teens growing into adulthood.
|

Join the Ferry Beach Youth camps to become a part of an intentional, kind-hearted, open-minded, and connected community built on self-expression and mutual respect. Young adults often report that Ferry Beach Youth Camps were the one place they felt comfortable being their true selves and that they appreciated being able to make friends beyond the usual school labels.
