My name is Carter Halpin and i am an 8 year going camper. Those eight years were probably the best years of my life. I am currently 17, the year after my final year at camp and i still think about it every day. Camp Nor'wester is unlike any camp. I mean, aside from it being on a San Juan island, getting to live in tipi's and the fact that you're there for a whole month! Well aside from that, it's still pretty awesome! There is an amazing craft shop with different sections such as, wood shop, clay place, and there's even a hangout area with a whole bunch of bean bags you can sit on and sow something up! There's archery, adobe oven where you can bake a variety of treats, and it has it's very own ropes course and water front filled with even awesomer activities! Now this might sound like a normal camp but it is just extended to a non local place that's extended a little bit. It is Not. Johns island where camp Nor'wester is located is where i consider almost more of a home than Seattle (where i live) as you are staying there for a month you really grow close to the people around you and when you've gone the maximum 8 years as a camper as i have, not being at camp is like being at a job you hate for eternity; you would do anything to just go home even for just a day. No one can describe Camp Nor'wester accuratly in a puny little review, no one can. But i can say right now proudly, those eight times i went there, almost 7 months, i could not have done anything better with those seven months and i long to go back. I strongly suggest anyone who is reading this to go at least check out thew website and please go. It was the best thing in the world for me and i hope it is for you too.
