  • Closing flag begins at 9:30 AM on Saturday, July 18th and will be followed by camper check out.

    We warmly invite parents and guardians to join us for this special closing moment.

    The ceremony is a meaningful experience for both campers and their families. Please arrive on time and gather quietly and respectfully at the flag area.

    Important: Campers will not be signed out prior to the flag ceremony. Campers remain under the supervision of their unit leaders at all times and may not leave the flag circle until they have been officially checked out after the ceremony.

    Only a parent or guardian pre-approved on the camper’s paperwork may sign them out and must present a valid ID at check-out.

    Early departures are not permitted. Please plan your Saturday schedule accordingly to ensure your camper can fully participate in the closing ceremony.

  • Yes. Trail and Sail welcomes campers of all identities, including transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and queer youth. We follow the inclusivity policies of Girl Scouts of Western Washington, which affirms that all girls—cisgender, transgender, and gender-expansive youth who identify with the Girl Scout experience—are welcome.

    Our camp leaders and volunteers are trained on inclusive language, pronoun use, and how to create a supportive, respectful space for all campers. We believe in cultivating a culture of belonging and kindness where every camper feels seen, safe, and celebrated.
