Wa-Ri-Ki is usually 100% full during July and August
with children and church camps. Evergreen School District fills up most of the weekdays
during the fall and spring months with outdoor school programs but there are still
openings during these times, especially on the weekends. Church retreats and family
reunions are the most common groups during the weekends during the fall and spring months.
The camp is closed November through the end of February because of snow. |

There is an on-site caretaker for maintenance purposes
only. Each group must bring there own staff for cooking and coordinating activities. |
