When the school bell stops ringing and the sun is out for summer time fun, families everywhere are searching for fun and safe activities for their children to get involved in. Luckily for us on the Oregon Coast, there are a bunch of summer camps to keep the kids entertained and educated.

Shorepine Properties is promoting summer camps as the charity of the month. A few of the local summer camps in Tillamook County include the Oregon State (OSU) Extension Office camps in Tillamook, Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp located just north of Neskowin and the Neskowin Valley School camps.

The OSU camps offer classes and fun activities for kids of all ages in grades K-12. All OSU classes are day classes. Some are for five days, others for one or two. Classes can be half or full day experiences. Art, sewing, cooking, gardening and outdoor survival are a sampling of classes offered. For more information you can click here.

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and picturesque Wi-Ne-Ma Lake in south Tillamook County, Wi-Ne-Ma Christian Camp offers a variety of Christian Camping experiences. Kids can spend their days by the beach, enjoying the lake, playing games and growing together through worship, prayer and Bible studies. For more information click here.
