Teen Reach Adventure Camp
About T.R.A.C. Washougal
Mission Statement
"To provide hope, healing, and a brighter future through single-sex camps designed specifically for youth ages 12–15 who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, foster care, or other out-of-home placements."
About
We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where every camper feels valued, respected, and empowered. Our volunteers are carefully selected and receive specialized training to work with youth who have experienced trauma. Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) serves as the foundation of our volunteer training and camper care approach.
To ensure meaningful connections and individual support, we maintain a 2:1 camper-to-counselor ratio. This allows each camper to receive focused attention, encouragement, and guidance throughout the camp experience.
A cornerstone of our program is our low-ropes challenge course. Guided by nationally trained facilitators, campers experience achievable challenges that help build teamwork, communication, trust, resilience, and self-confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
Camp is provided entirely free of charge to campers and their families or caregivers. We are especially honored to offer respite opportunities for foster parents while also supporting all caregivers who invest their time, energy, and love into helping young people thrive. Through generous donations and year-round fundraising efforts, we are able to make these life-changing experiences possible.
While our camps are faith-based, we welcome and serve youth from all backgrounds, faith traditions, cultures, and belief systems. We are committed to treating every camper with dignity, respect, and care regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.
