Camp Firwood

Located on the beautiful Lake Whatcom waterfront southeast of Bellingham, Camp Firwood offers an engaging summer camp experience focused on adventure and community. The camp provides a wide variety of activities, including sailing, kayaking, climbing, and crafts, as well as high-energy options like wakeboarding, rock climbing, skateboarding, and paintball. This diverse activity menu allows campers to explore new interests in a supportive, outdoor setting.

The camp environment is centered around building lasting friendships and positive social connections. Campers are supported by an energetic and dedicated summer staff of high school and college-age students who serve as caring role models. As a program operated by The Firs Bible and Missionary, the staff integrates practical Christian values into the camp experience, fostering a nurturing atmosphere for personal growth.

Camp Firwood is an overnight camp that has been a staple of the Northwest community since 1955. While the program focuses on fun and memorable adventures, the structured nature of the staff-led activities provides a reliable environment for campers to develop confidence and social skills through shared outdoor challenges.
