YMCA Camp Kilworth
Private
Outdoor day camp on a 25-acre shoreline property in Federal Way, near Dash Point State Park, operated by the YMCA of Greater Seattle under a long-term lease from Forterra, which bought the site in 2022. Staff lead small-group activities for kids entering grades 1-6, including trails with views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains and beach walks with bald eagle sightings. The camp, originally a Boy Scouts site from 1934 to 2016, reopened after restoration in spring 2025 and includes the historic Timber Wolf and Rotary lodges.

★★★★★David Lindeblom2011 Winter Cub Pack 9205 camping...too bad it is closing for lack of support!
★★★William PattenMy Eagle Scout son said this was his favorite place for camp!
★★★Dan SpurlingNeed to fix bathrooms and ovens. Also need to repair doors so they will open from outside. If BSA would put a little money in this place it would be a fantastic site. As it is, it's ok at best.
