We received more votes for camps and classes than any other category, and we learned one very important thing: Your family knows exactly where they like to get creative and have a good time. Whether the kids are learning fancy footwork, performing musicals on the stage or practicing their budding Picasso skills, the votes are in on the very best places for indoor and outdoor learning.
Summer Day Camp
Winner: Wilderness Awareness School
Wilderness Awareness School wins your vote as the No. 1 Seattle-area summer day camp (it also wins for favorite overnight camp). With day camps for kids ages 4 through 12 – from half- to full-day nature camps in locations such as Seattle, Kirkland, Everett and Bellevue and beyond -- kids have the opportunity to learn about the local wildlife, plants and the terrain that we Pacific Northwesterners hold dear. Though voters obviously love Wilderness Awareness School for many reasons, many compliment it for the “great outdoor instruction” and the “top-notch staff.”
