Site Information

Kayak Point County Park Yurt Camp is 45 miles north of Seattle near Tulalip Indian reservation.  We have reserved 7 yurts at the village.  Each yurt can sleep up to 5 people.  Yurt has a double bunk bed, a futon bed, is heated and has lighting.  Village has a central cover shelter for BBQ and cooking.  There are also uncovered BBQ pits.  There is room for outdoor gathering, games and camp fire.  Fishing and crabbing, biking and hiking possibilities near by.  Separate indoor shower and restroom facilities (5-minute walk from the yurts).

Purpose

Provide a forum for teenage members of Yee Association of Seattle and Vancouver to

• Learn a bit more about the history and association of Yees
• Discuss ideas of youth program and involvement
• Network and develop meaningful relationship

The camp is meant to be a first step to integrate and promote ideas among members of the two Yee associations.  Future activities will be planned and scheduled as relevancy and value of such gathering are developed.
