Who We Are
Since 1986, Camp Prime Time has served families with a seriously/terminally ill or developmentally disabled child(ren) in the Cascade Mountains just west of Naches, Washington. It provides a camping experience in the great outdoors where families can enjoy themselves in a supportive atmosphere at no cost to the family. Volunteers and donors serve as the core to camp operations, development, and funding activities.
2021 Camping Season: Opening on a modified basis
The Yakima Health Dept. approved CPT’s plan for opening camp on a modified bases in 2021. Modifications include:
1. Limit number of camper families to six (6) households. Based on the limited number of bathroom availability.
2. Each household family will be assigned one bathroom.
3. Limit number of volunteer families to two (2) households. To be reviewed based on family situation.
a. One (1) volunteer family to cook for camper families.
b. One (1) volunteer family to care for and support camper families.
4. Distancing protocols and masks will be enforced. Reviewed based on group situation.
5. Activities limited to one household at a time: Pontoon & Wagon rides, Playground, Tree House, Court Games, etc.
6. Playroom will serve as additional dining space if needed. Otherwise take-out meals delivered to each families cabin.
7. Six (6) additional mid-week sessions offered.
8. Minor changes to: Registration, Information, and Operations.
Please review the above information to evaluate your family’s ability to attend and/or volunteer this summer. A safe environment is being offered. It will not feel quite the same as previous camps. If uncomfortable due to underlying health conditions, distancing protocols, and program changes . . . . we understand and hope for a ‘back to normal’ 2022.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It’s the only thing that ever has.”
“Volunteering at Camp Prime Time will be the most meaningful/moving/rewarding exhaustion you will ever experience.”
