Another great camp in Washington is Camp Singing Wind in Toledo. It's run by Camp Fire USA and has camping programs for the kids, counselor training sessions for the younger teens, and as far as I know now, they have the older teens as counselors. It's a good camp.

I just moved from Portland, so I'm hoping we will move back and some day my son might want to go to one of these!
