As a Non-Profit our core mission is to provide a unique and educational outdoor experience for children attending school in Clatsop County. Therefore, a camper’s registration status is based on the school district they attend and not on their home address.
Additionally, our camp is not funded by property taxes. Camp Kiwanilong is supported by our own fundraising efforts. We are fortunate that once Clatsop County students have had the opportunity to attend camp, we are able to open registration to individuals outside the county.
