Our family-style meals are prepared with local, organic, and sustainably sourced ingredients that reflect the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Your ticket includes reception, dinner, dessert, a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and s'mores at the Friendship Circle campfire. Overnight guests enjoy a complimentary hot breakfast with their stay!

LODGING

Stay overnight in one of our beautiful lodges! Northwest-style lodges house guest rooms with a combination of single occupancy, double occupancy, and bunk rooms that accommodate up to six guests. All guest rooms have a private bathroom and include bedding, towels, and basic amenities. Each lodge contains a spacious log-beam great room with a stone fireplace and cozy seating areas, laundry facilities, and a small refrigerator. A complimentary hot breakfast made by the IslandWood kitchen team is included with your room purchase. Lodge rooms will be assigned to you based on the number of people in your group, with a maximum of six people per room.

Give your child the gift of time in nature to explore and discover. IslandWood's environmental educators will lead games and activities while you enjoy the reception, dinner, and program. Camp is available for children aged 6 - 16 and includes supervised programming, dinner, dessert. Campers are also invited to the Friendship Circle after Kid's Camp to enjoy a campfire and s'mores with their parents and family members.
