King County has partnered with the nonprofit organizations IslandWood and Friends of the Hidden River to offer summer day camp programs at Brightwater Center.

Programs take place at King County’s Brightwater Center, with over 70 acres of natural areas and three miles of trails. Brightwater’s creeks and forests are home to wildlife where campers will learn to observe nature, create art projects and enjoy hours of fun on the trail and in the lab.

Brightwater Center is located at 22505 State Route 9 S.E. in Woodinville.

The 2015 Brightwater summer camps include:
