About Brightwood Station
Brightwood Station is the experience of a lifetime! The carefully crafted programs and safe environment at Brightwood are designed to strengthen relationships with Jesus as well as friends and family. Our highly qualified and trained staff lead campers in a number of activities focused on helping grow and strengthen a faith in God. Age-appropriate Bible studies, worship songs, and entertaining and educational chapel skits are all designed to relay the message of Jesus to campers throughout their time at Brightwood. After coming to Brightwood, campers leave with a new fire in their hearts for God!
New in 2025
We know that now more than ever, kids need environments where they can receive our undivided attention and support. Our heartfelt desire is to meet the ever-evolving needs of our campers, and in 2025 we will do that by focusing on one week of youth camp at a time. This summer we will offer two weeks of Brightwood Station followed by two weeks of Camp Timber Rock, and then three weeks of Rainier Kids Day Camp, providing a similar capacity to last summer’s overnight programs. This decision comes from our commitment to excellence in everything we do. By focusing on one camp each week, our staff can give our full energy and attention to creating the safest, most impactful experience possible for your camper. Thank you for being a part of the Cascades family. It’s a privilege to be a part of your summer plans!
What You’ll Experience
Come out for a week of camp and embark on a journey to discover the excitement and adventure of Brightwood Station! You’ll have a blast: sharing a boxcar cabin with friends and your counselor, eating delicious meals, exciting adventures, and all the games and crazy activities you can handle! Some camper favorites include playing at the waterfront, getting snacks from the Canteen, cabin time, and tons more! Each camper who spends a week at Brightwood Station has the opportunity to learn new skills as a part of Cascades’ natural, hands-on learning environment. Brightwood is a safe and fun place for kids to try something new, grow new friendships, create long-lasting memories, gain knowledge, and build their confidence.

Dates and Pricing
TIERED PRICING MODEL
We say it often, but it deserves to be repeated: we want every child to have the opportunity to come to Cascades, regardless of their financial situation. This pricing model makes programs at Cascades accessible to families that may not otherwise be able to send their children to camp. We’re grateful to those who can afford the unsubsidized “true” cost for supporting this effort to broaden our reach as we seek to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Tier #1 | The unsubsidized “true” cost of camp for families who can afford it.
Tier #2 | A subsidized option for families who need extra financial assistance to be able to experience Cascades programs.
Tier #2 pricing does not need to be applied for. It will automatically apply during registration if selected. For families that need additional support, we offer a need-based sponsorship program with an online application process.
| Date | Grade | Session Name | Status | Tier #1 Cost | Tier #2 Cost |

| July 7-12, 2025 | 4-6 | Brightwood Station #1 | $640 | $550 | |
