Over its 21 years of operation, with grassroots participation from many businesses, individuals, and grantors, Camp Prime Time has greatly improved the pre-existing cabins. Volunteers have built boardwalks to provide wheelchair access to restrooms, created and installed a water filtration system to ensure safe and accessible drinking water, installed a new septic system, constructed fire hydrants throughout camp, and, most recently, built two new cabins with wheelchair accessibility and self-contained restrooms.

Each year efforts are made to improve the camping program. This ensures that families are able to build a network of support, and focus on quality time together, while watching their children engage in activities that otherwise would not be readily available.

Some of the upcoming projects are listed below. If you are interested in more information (or to participate in a project), please contact the Prime Time office. Also, be sure to visit this page again in the future for new pictures and updates on how the projects are progressing.

Lodge Improvement

The Main Lodge is a very functional old building that is in need of some major improvements. Plans are currently being developed, agency approvals are in progress, and funds are being raised to make the lodge more useable, while retaining its historic characteristics. The work will add handicapped accessible restrooms, strengthen the roof structure to resist snow loads, enlarge the playroom, and provide sleeping space for the volunteer staff.

Universally Accessible Treehouse

Construction continues for an accessible treehouse to be built at camp. With almost 800 campers enjoying Camp Prime Time each summer, an approximately 500 sq. ft. covered gazebo style treehouse, that can be used by our special campers, would enhance their experience, making the memories even more special. Construction began in August of 2007 and will be completed in spring of 2008, in time for the 2008 camping season.

Boat Dock Replacement

To make our boating program more accessible to our campers, Prime Time has reconstructed the boat dock at Clear Lake. This work will benefit both our campers and the general public. The project was coordinated with the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, and Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Construction was completed in spring of 2007.
