Nestled in the foothills of the Olympic Mountains and situated on beautiful Lost Lake between Elma and Shelton, Camp Bishop provides an excellent setting for the YMCA’S traditional resident camping program. Camp is a place where we teach kids about acceptance and tolerance. We co-exist with other campers, share stories, and life lessons and learn to appreciate others for who they are. Camp Bishop is a place where kids can feel as if they belong. We teach kids how to make friends and provide positive staff role models to help them be successful at camp and connect with others. The "cabin group" and "unit" structure, gives kids a much-needed identity at camp, which helps them to fit in. Camp Bishop staff work extremely hard to help kids connect with new friends and form positive bonds with their leaders and the camp leadership.
