Northwest Camp

2017

July 23, 2017 - 12:00am EDT to July 30, 2017 - 12:00am EDT

At Camp Magruder, campers enjoy a clean, nearly private mile-long lake as the eastern border of camp, and over a half-mile of scenic and clean ocean beach on the west. The dorms, dining hall and other camp facilities are among the best in the region, and improvements are made every year. UYC staff chooses the menu for the week, and the Maguder staff prepares the meals.

Activities

Last year Chinook Pass Outfitters brought their horses and we have them reserved for 2017! We are planning an evening ride on the coast and a kayak trip down the Nehalem River.

Activities planned are volleyball, speed-away (one boundary of the field is the ocean), skim-boarding and riding boogie boards in the waves. Other activities include swimming, waterskiing, archery, pickle ball, dance class and softball. We will also have two dances during camp. The dance instruction classes have been a huge success over the years. 

Dorm Life and Spiritual Activities 

Christian living lessons and memory verses are the core of each day. Each activity, lesson and even campfire stories are designed to illustrate the lessons so that campers understand how to put them into practice when they return home.

Every year campers build friendships that will last a lifetime. Our goal is to establish a godly atmosphere for campers.

Travel

Camp Magruder is located about 11/2 hours drive time from Portland, Oregon. Campers should arrive at Northwest Camp between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 23. Departure will be on Sunday, July 30, between 9 and 10 a.m. All pertinent information about Northwest Camp will be available on the UYC website.

Staff Opportunities

The camp experience is made possible by our dedicated volunteer staff. For those serving on staff, camp is a week of hard work, not much sleep and many rewarding memories as we are privileged to be a part of helping God’s young people grow and live God’s way of life.
