Camp Mariposa® Southwest Washington is a year-round substance use prevention and mentoring program for youth affected by the substance use disorder of a family member.
Children and teens attend transformational weekend camps every other month for a year or more. Youth ages 9-12 participate in fun, traditional camp activities combined with educational and support sessions led by mental health professionals.
Teens are given a unique opportunity to continue their involvement in Camp Mariposa as Junior Counselors. Camp Mariposa builds knowledge, life skills, confidence, and provides an opportunity to connect with peers and caring adult mentors. Additional social activities are offered for youth, alumni, and their families throughout the year.
All camp activities are provided free of charge. Youth who attend learn coping skills that build resiliency and ultimately break the intergenerational cycle of substance use disorder. This award-winning program is offered in partnership with youth-focused organizations in communities across the country.
This camp is led by Lifeline Connections mental health professionals and is held in a beautiful camp setting in Clark County.
