Kiwanis Camp Schoenwald Memorial Park
Continuing maintenance of Kiwanis Schoenwald Camp is paramount to the Highline Kiwanis club activities. The club was formed in 1938 to support childrens camps all around the Puget Sound. In 1952, Camp Schoenwald's 10 acre camping area was acquired by the club's Highline Youth Foundation, and opened for children's organizations in 1954. Annually it welcomes over 5,000 visitors including Boy and Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls and other youth groups for day camps and overnight camping. Facilities include a large outdoor teepee with a huge fireplace and a building for indoor activities and sleeping quarters. The natural and primitive setting has been carefully retained, and is offered free of cost to all qualifying youth organizations.
We lost a caretaker's house to a 2008 Fire - Help Highline Kiwanis Rebuild!
The Highline Kiwanis and the Highline Youth Foundation have faithfully been serving the Puget Sound's youth since as early as 1938. One of the ways we endeavor to provide a fun and safe facility in our 10 acre camp is to make sure there is on-site staff living at Camp Schoenwald Memorial Park 365 days a year. Unfortunately, we lost the North caretaker's home in a 2008 fire (though the caretaker and his family are all in good health). The new cabin has been successfully built, and we thank our community for all the donations of time, materials and funds that helped get us there. Please contact us to find out how you can help the Highline Kiwanis continue to provide an important facility to our Puget Sound youth.
