New Facebook “fan” page
Facebook is revamping its “Groups” feature and is phasing out all groups created before a certain date.
We have created a new Camp Kirby “fan page” to replace the old group. Past and present camper families, staff and Kirby alumni on Facebook can keep abreast of Camp Kirby news and upcoming events. We’ll also have links to information about day and resident camps (we’re still taking registrations, by the way – and you can even register for Resident Camp online).
Please visit and “like” us to stay connected! You can find it on Facebook by searching for the “Camp Kirby (Samish Island, WA)” page, or simply follow this link.
YOU can make a difference…
For monetary donations, please send to 1321 King Street, Suite #3, Bellingham, WA 98229. Donations can be made to our general fund or designated specifically for use at Camp Kirby.
