Cama Beach
Cama Beach State Park currently is one of the Foundation’s largest commitments. The WA State Parks Foundation is the contributions vehicle for generous private philanthropy to make this new park a reality. When open to the public, hopefully in 2008-2009, this unique new park will offer:
- A peaceful and beautiful island environment, easily accessible to mainland population centers by bridge, only an hour plus from Seattle, Washington.
- Center for Wooden Boats with boat building and handling classes, programs for troubled youth, and boat rentals.
- Over a mile of saltwater beach for public use.
- 430 acres of forested uplands with lake.
- Overnight cabin rentals.
- Conference and retreat facilities.
- Environmental Learning Center for school children.
- A "time capsule" of almost fifty historic resort buildings,
listed on the National Historic Register and the Washington Heritage Register. - Courses related to the special attributes of the site, such as regional maritime history, natural history, and Native American history
