Big Lagoon Coastal Camp
A Summer That Lasts A Lifetime
Big Lagoon offers two different summer camps. Our overnight camp offers three days and two nights of fun-filled summer camp activities. Our day camps offer all school-aged kids outdoor adventures in our magical forest and sunny days at the beach.
Coastal Camp Mission
Our mission is to provide immersive experiences that celebrate indigenous cultures and embody the spirit of summer camp. We are dedicated to creating a safe and fun environment for every camper so we can maximize the opportunity to connect to our community and our coast.
