Week One Camp
Whales, Barnacles, and Everything In Between
June 22nd - June 26th, 10:00am - 2:00pm
Ages 7 - 9
14 registrations available
$350.00
Salmon! Starfish! Seaweed! Orcas! In this camp, your students will not only learn about the vast ecosystem of the Puget Sound, they will also learn how to live amongst our marine counterparts. How do we touch a starfish? Where do the crabs live, and how do we pick them up safely? These are all questions that we will be going over in this camp. As your student learns more about the Puget Sound and the creatures in it, they will also be creating a nature journal filled with art, observations, and new information about our sound. When they aren’t learning about the types of whales in the sound or how to identify barnacles on a rock, they will be immersing themselves in sea creature-themed games with fellow campers.
Week One Camp
The Mighty Plankton

Ages 4 - 6
$350.00
Welcome to the beach! This camp is all about Introducing our littlest Pacific Northwesterners in lessons about the Puget Sound, art projects, and nature. As we scan the beach during walks and activities, we will be discussing things like ‘what can we touch?’ or, ‘where are our dangers at the beach?’ or, ‘who all lives in the big blue water?’ After beach walks, games, and activities, your student will be coloring, drawing, and creating artwork from their activities on the shoreline to make their lessons memorable, fun, and interactive.

There are thousands of tidepools at every beach, teeming with thousands of creatures. But did you know that some creatures never leave the tidepools they’ve hatched in? Yes, they have a whole life under a rock no larger than a football! In this camp, we will be bringing our young Pacific Northwesterners to carefully uncover those rocks and see the universe under them. Crabs, clams, shells, guppies, insects and seaweed! But, be careful! We will learn how to be respectful tourists of TidepoolTown: watching, appreciating, and carefully handling marine life. As the week goes by, we will be drawing our table-sized map of TidepoolTown, adding coconut crabs, anemones, and every other creature we see at the beach.

$350.00
The ocean is teeming with diversity that is sometimes a little hard to imagine. Life can be smaller than the eye can see, or as big as the length of a beach! In this camp, we will spend half our time looking at marine life through microscopes, discovering amoebas, insects, plankton, and krill. For the other half of our time, we will be using fabric, rope, and paper to create representations of the largest creatures in the sea: a lion’s mane jellyfish, a blue whale, and the giant squid to name a few. Our goal for the week will be to better understand the sheer enormity of the ocean and its creatures through fun activities, games, and projects.

Ages 4 - 6
14 registrations available
$350.00
A real-life sea monster? Try thousands! For so much of history, the ‘sea monster’ has appeared in poems, stories, and paintings. It's easy to chop these monsters up as spooky things, but time and again, science has shown us that something is lurking! But far from a monster, it's the colossal squid, the megalodon shark’s tooth, or the lion’s mane jellyfish. It turns out that there is no such thing as monsters after all! In this special camp, we will be learning all about the mysterious side of the beach. This camp is all about confidence: The ocean is no scary thing. Nor are there monsters lurking in the shadows. As it turns out, there are many ways to see the ocean as a friend. Whether we’re making sea creature masks or going monster-spotting, by the end of the week we will find ourselves better connected to the beach.
Week Three Camp

Killer whales are a part of who we are in the Pacific Northwest. They live in pods across the Puget Sound, exploring boats, marinas, and different channels. In this camp, we will discover the intricacies of each place an orca explores: the sound, the pacific, the inlets of each island. Through this camp, your child will discover the integral part the Orca
plays in the Pacific Northwest’s web of life. How do we create orca art? Where do we find them? How do orcas survive the immense, wild ocean? This gamified, STEAM integrated camp will allow students to understand the world of these great animals.

Octopus? Sea pens? Orcas? These are all things that Foghorn campers have seen during one of the year’s lowest tides, and during this week, we’ll experience it again. This is a unique, once a year camp where students will be able to discover the low-tide zone with educators ready to spot, name, and explain the creatures of a true low tide. Through exploration, journaling, games, and low-tide walks, campers will have the opportunity to walk along landscapes that are often ten feet underwater for a truly unforgettable week.

Calling all of our kindergarten explorers! Once every summer at Foghorn, the tide dips into the low tide zone. In addition to exploring and introducing the Pacific Northwest beach to our young Pacific Northwesterners, we will explore the other-worldly wonder of a true low tide with possible sightings of octopi, moon snails, orcas, and more. Through journeys onto sandbar islands and explorations into kelp forests exposed for the first time in months, this once-in-a-year camp opens a student's eyes to a universe below the tide.

A trip across the water? Grab your walking shoes, because we’re in for a hike! In this camp, we will be setting out to explore and learn about each beach in Edmonds. In addition to learning about marine life, tide tables, sand, and driftwood, we will also be travelling from beach to beach and exploring the best of what each one has to offer. Whether we’re learning about fishing at Olympic Beach, tide tables at Marina, or seaweed at Brackett's landing, each day will be filled with games, community building, and a better understanding of our home. On the fourth day, we will be headed out on a ferry ride to Kingston where we’ll learn about the Cascade Mountain Range, The Olympic Mountain range, and how to spot and name each peak. Each day will start and end at Marina Beach Park––so be ready to walk!

The beach and outer space? They’re closer than you might think! From the moon’s tidetables to an exploding star’s space dust lining our sparkling shorelines, the beach is beautifully intertwined with what we see in the sky. During this week of camp, we will be discovering the makeup of sand, the moon’s pushing of the tides, and we’ll even explore some astronomy and compare it to our time at the beach. Moon games, Star (fish)-searcher-scavenger hunts, and tide mapping will fill this big, cosmic camp.

This week, we’ll be exploring this incredible cattail-filled wonderland and discover a connection between us and nature’s kaleidoscope. Based in City Park, our camp will travel all throughout the terrestrial landscape of the marsh where we’ll collect specimens and samples, play games, and explore this crossroad where the ocean’s marine life and the land’s terrestrial life meet, cohabitate, and live their lives.

In this unique camp, we will be meeting a goat! And doing so much more . . . Throughout the week, we will be learning all about the land of the Pacific Northwest in City Park. What lives in the mountains? What are the names of each tree? What are the hundreds of different bird species that fly across the “Pacific Flyway” each year, and why do they land here? Through games, expeditions throughout the park, and STEAM-packed exploratory activities, each camper will walk away at the end of the week with newfound knowledge of the incredible diversity surrounding our neighborhoods, mountains, and shorelines in the Pacific Northwest. If your camper has ever been fascinated by the bob cats, coyotes, deer, or bears that we neighbor, this camp is right for you.
