Camp Beausite NW in Chimacum offers week-long overnight sessions for people who are often unable to attend other camps because of the extent of their special needs.
With a one-to-one camper/counselor ratio, campers can participate in activities others take for granted. Camp activities include arts and crafts, swimming, picnics, nature walks, campfires, a talent show and fishing.
The camp’s vision is growing and now includes services for disabled veterans, too. Apart from summer camp, the facility provides equine therapy programs for vets, with plans for expanding it into a full adaptive sports program.
“Camp Beausite is a special place for us Kiwanians,” said Darcey Beck, Kiwanis Club of Port Angeles president.
“The camp means so much to many of our members, who have watched and helped it grow from a few tents to several cabins, a lodge, and so much more. And to the individual campers, who look forward to their return each and every year, the camp means more than we can describe.”
