Camp Huckleberry

For Elementary aged youth
(Children going into K-4th grade) Camp Huckleberry is the After School Program and Summer Camp all rolled into one annual program, so that we can provide year-round learning an enrichment opportunities for all Lopez youth FREE of charge. Students enrolled in the After School program who maintained regular attendance will have priority for the summer program.

Camp blackberry

For Middle School aged youth
5th-8th grade
Camp Blackberry is a FREE, year-round After School Program and Summer Camp for middle school aged youth. Camp No Name is built on the belief that appointing youth in creation of the program they attend is not only key to their enjoyment but also to their engagement. Students enrolled in the After School program who maintained regular attendance will have priority for the summer program.

FREE youth learning for Lopez Island kids. All. Year. Long.

Choice is a huge part of the after-school program, from what games and activities the youth want to do but also how to do them. The program is built on the belief that engaging youth in the creation of the program is the key to youth engagement.

Even the names of each respective program, Camp Blackberry for 5-8th graders and Camp Huckleberry for K-4th graders, were chosen and voted on with an overwhelming majority by the kids themselves.

The After School and Summer Camp Programs, now referred to as the Out of School Time Program, is funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center grant, making it free for Lopez families to have access to year-round learning and enrichment activities.

Showing up matters!

Regular attendance in the program is required. Campers who attend regularly build routines, learn to support each other -cultivating lasting friendships- and grow in their ability to communicate. They show higher engagement, receive access to more resources, and have an overall more positive experience.

  • Do you have a special skill to bring to the program? Join us as a guest instructor.
  • We are still looking for a regular instructor and substitute instructors to join the team. 
  • Interested in driving the kids home after the program? We are still in need of licensed bus drivers.
  • Fund snacks. The grant supports all staff hours and supplies- but we cannot purchase snacks with the grant. If you’d like to donate funds or healthy foods to support snack time, we would be very appreciative.
