Stanley Stamm Summer Camp

Stanley Stamm Summer Camp Logo

Each August, Seattle Children’s Stanley Stamm Summer Camp gives nearly 100 children with chronic medical conditions the chance to go fishing, ride horses and take part in other typical summer camp activities at a week-long sleepover camp near Mt. Rainier.

Our camp, founded by Seattle Children's heart specialist Dr. Stanley Stamm, is staffed by a team of medical and non-medical volunteers from the community, allowing children who would otherwise be unable to attend other camps due to unique and often complex medical needs to join in the fun.

Stamm Camp is subsidized by our generous donors so families don’t have to pay a fee.

For information, please email Anastasiya Shapovalova.

Stamm Camp in the News

Since our founding, we have relied on philanthropy. In honor of the camp’s 50th anniversary in 2016, the community that loves Dr. Stanley Stamm and his camp came together to raise $1 million to keep the camp going for another 50 years.
