General Camp Visitors
Guidelines for Visitors

Welcome to Four Winds * Westward Ho! Ours is a community of campers, parents, alumni, staff and families that span generations. Every one of you is vital to our collective history and our continuation as a summer camp for young people. We encourage you to come and visit, but ask that you help us by following these guidelines:

• Please plan your visit for the middle two weeks of the session so as not to disrupt the nesting or closure periods of camp. Please call camp if you need help determining the exact window.
• Please contact the office in advance of your visit at (360) 376-2277 or abby@fourwindscamp.org. 
• Please sign in at the office when you arrive and get a nametag, and let us know when you’re on your way out.
• In keeping with camp’s back-to-nature philosophy we kindly request that you leave cell phones in your car or check them at the office.  Signal around camp is not the best and a ringing cell phone takes away from the natural surroundings.  It would also help if you did not bring any personal digital assistants (PDAs) or other portable electronics to camp.
• If you are visiting a staff member, please do so during their time off.
• Unfortunately, we are unable to provide lodging at camp during visits. However, if you call ahead, we can provide the names of many wonderful accommodations on the island. We encourage you to make reservations in advance as Orcas Island is a popular vacation destination during the summer months. You can also go to www.deerharbor.org or www.orcasislandchamber.com.
• If you are coming by boat, you are welcome to come for the day and tie up at our guest float, but not overnight please. It would be helpful to call ahead to check out space availability. Many of our boating families love to stay at the Deer Harbor Marina: www.bellportgroup.com/deer-harbor-marina.htm
• Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the office at (360) 376-2277 or abby@fourwindscamp.org . 

We look forward to meeting you soon!
