A Difficult Summer at Camp Zanika

Due to heavy wildfire smoke from fires burning across Washington State and unsafe air quality at camp, we made the heartbreaking decision to close Session 5 and 6 early and cancel Sessions 7 and 8. These cancellations have left Camp Zanika Lache facing more than $199,000 in lost summer revenue.

For a summer camp, the impact of losing these sessions goes far beyond the campers who were unable to attend. We had already prepared for the summer — hiring and training staff, purchasing food and supplies, preparing activities, and getting camp ready to welcome hundreds of campers.

When the smoke forced us to close, those expenses remained while much of our expected summer income disappeared.

Since the closures, we have been working hard to raise funds and recover from this unexpected loss. Our hope is to raise enough support to help Camp Zanika make it through this difficult season and be ready to welcome campers back next summer.

Camp Zanika has been a place for children to build confidence, make lifelong memories, and connect with the outdoors for generations. We want to keep that tradition alive, and we hope you’ll be part of the journey with us.

Whether you donate, purchase a fundraiser ticket, share our story, or simply spread the word, you are helping give Camp Zanika a chance to come back stronger next summer.

Thank you for believing in Camp Zanika and helping us keep the magic of camp alive.
