Chalice Camp is our annual, summer day-camp for Unitarian Universalist kids. It is a week of meaningful exploring and community building, including music, art, games, worship, and fun field trips. This summer we are upping our game and offering both our usual, full week of Chalice Camp and a short, Mini-Chalice Camp. Chalice Camp is open to elementary-age children, entering 1st through 6th grade.
Mini-Chalice Camp: Wednesday, July 5 – Friday, July 7
In this shorter camp experience, children will explore the power of music as a spiritual practice and an expression of religious community. We’ll sing together, dance together, make instruments, and maybe even write a song! Mini-Chalice Camp may also include a field trip to Magnuson Park for swimming and to nearby parks for playing. Registration for Mini-Chalice Camp is $150 per child and closes on Sunday, June 11.
Chalice Camp: Monday, July 24 – Friday, July 28
In our usual, full week of camp, children will build upon the experiences of Superhero Academy. Using the Superhero Academy curriculum, as well as adapting from “Holy Troublemakers & Unconventional Saints,” we will use games, music, and art to explore how our Unitarian Universalist faith and community can sustain us in working together for justice. *This camp does not require previous experience with Superhero Academy for a fun and meaningful camp experience. Registration for the full week of Chalice Camp is $200 per child and closes on Sunday, July 2.

We believe strongly that Chalice Camp should be available to all children who would like to participate. If the cost of Chalice Camp presents a barrier to participation for your family, please contact Aria Curtis about full or partial scholarships.
Counselor positions for are open to UUC youth entering grades 9-12 in the fall of 2023. This is a fun and collaborative way for youth to build leadership skills, gain work experience, lead worship for the camp and congregation, and deepen their connection to the UUC community. We seek responsible youth who enjoy working with kids, who enjoy being UU, and who are excited to create a vibrant multigenerational community at UUC!
Counselors are expected to assist with all camp activities and to work collaboratively with other counselors and staff to ensure that every camper is included. Counselors invited to participate in Chalice camp must meet all minimum qualifications, attend the training and pledge to fulfill all Chalice Camp counselor responsibilities.
This year, UUC is offering one full week of camp, as well as a shorter, mini-Chalice Camp. Applicants should indicate in this form their preference. Youth Counselors are paid a stipend of $300 for the full week of camp and $250 for the mini-Camp. It is very unlikely anyone will get to be a counselor for both weeks of Chalice Camp.
Applications for Youth Counselor positions open on Thursday, February 16 and close on Sunday, April 30. Interviews will take place over the weeks of May 14 and May 21. Staffing decisions will be made in early June. Youth Counselors are required to participate in the Youth Counselor Trainings from 1:00 – 6:00 pm on Sunday, June 25 (Mini-Camp) or Sunday, July 9 (full week of Chalice Camp).
