Yes! Most campers ride the camp bus to and from camp with their belongings. 

The bus departs from St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Seattle, WA on the start day of each camp session at 3:15pm to head to camp. At the end of each camp session, the camp bus will arrive back at St. Demetrios at approximately 1:00pm. Counselors will be at St. Demetrios to check in and out campers, and will be riding the bus. Our friendly bus driver, Judy, has been driving the All Saints Camp bus for many years and can't wait to meet your camper! 

Sign up your camper to ride the bus when you complete the online camper registration form. The cost of riding the bus is included in your camper's registration fee. 

The address for All Saints Camp is 205 Camp Road NW, Raft Island, WA 98335.

Drop off is at 4pm on your camper's first day of their camp session (Sunday). 

If you are dropping your camper off at camp, please park in the designated area of the main parking lot. Please do not bring your pets to drop off your camper at All Saints Camp. Luggage may be placed at the wooden bench or the large tree stump while you continue to the registration tent. Here, your camper will be checked in with our Camp Director and you’ll be asked to verify your camper’s departure transportation method. Your camper will then receive their cabin assignment and turn in any electronic devices and other contraband (these will be returned upon check-out on Saturday). With the Medical Staff, your camper’s medical information will be reviewed, medications will be turned in, and screening questions asked. Your camper’s temperature will be taken and will be asked about symptoms of COVID-19. If they exhibit these symptoms, they may be asked to take a COVID-19 test, provided by ASC. If your camper tests positive, they will not be allowed to attend camp. 

After the health screening, campers will meet their counselor. The counselor will escort your camper (and family if desired) to their cabin. Here, they will meet other campers and any other counselors in their cabin. At this point, families are free to leave, and their campers are now in the care of their counselors and will begin their fantastic week at All Saints Camp! All families must depart by 4:45pm. 

Pick up is at 11:00am on your camper's last day of their camp session (Saturday).

Camp ends on Saturday at 11:30am and we request that families who pick up campers at camp arrive promptly at 11:00am so that staff can begin to turn over the camp for the next session or close up camp for the year and get some rest. Please keep in mind that all staff are volunteers who have devoted an entire week to providing a memorable experience for your camper! Be sure to thank your camper’s counselor(s) and other camp staff for their dedication to your camper all week!

Absolutely! All Saints Camp exists to serve our Orthodox community and youth, to create a wonderful place for everyone to grow in their faith and enjoy each other's fellowship. While the majority of our campers are belong to the Orthodox community, All Saints Camp - just like our church -  welcomes all campers as a way to spread the faith. 

All campers, regardless of religious affiliation, are required to attend chapel service in the morning and evening, for about 15-20 minutes for each service every day. Campers also participate in Orthodox Life each weekday, a 45-minute session run by an Orthodox Priest discussing the camp theme or quote of the day and how it relates to the saints of the church, prayer, biblical stories, etc. A prayer to bless the food and hands that prepared them is done prior to each meal. 

Campers participate in the baking of Prosphora during one All Saints Activity session, which is the holy bread used in Holy Communion. During Arts & Crafts, campers often create pieces which contribute to the overall theme or daily theme of camp. This often includes candles, biblical or saint story references, or use/creation of icons. 

Campers will participate in confession and choir practice prior to, and communion during, Liturgy service on Friday morning. All campers are required to participate in all activities aside from confession and communion, which are optional and are only for campers who are baptized in the Orthodox faith, as these are considered Holy Sacraments of the church.  

All Saints Camp welcomes campers of all faith backgrounds, so long as they feel comfortable being in this space, participating in activities related to the faith, and demonstrate respect for the practices of being an Orthodox Christian. 

Please Note: The camper registration scholarship fund was created specifically for Orthodox campers, and therefore is not available for non-Orthodox campers. 

Please do your best to make sure all your camper’s items are labeled with their first and last name. There is a designated lost and found area at camp, and we will send a photo of items left behind at camp via email to all camp families after the end of the second session. Any items left behind after both sessions have concluded will be available at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church's coat rack section. The church will hold onto all items for up to one (1) week after the conclusion of the camp they attended. All Saints Camp and St. Demetrios Church are not responsible for any items that are lost or stolen, and under no circumstances will reimburse lost, stolen, or broken items.
