Part camp, part conference … all magic! Eliot is an inclusive, all ages vacation for families, couples, and individuals. Gatherings are held four times a year – three times each summer and once over New Year’s Eve – at beautiful Seabeck Conference Center in Western Washington. Tall cedar and fir trees shelter the conference grounds on the edge of Seabeck Bay, with awe inspiring views of the Olympic Mountains. 

One fee covers everything: the program and activities, comfortable lodgings (at your choice of price points, basic to deluxe), and three meals each day. Generous scholarships and volunteer credits are available.

The seven-night July and August Eliots, and the four-night Winter Eliot, feature interesting speakers and discussion groups for the adults and fun supervised programs for children and teens each morning. The four-night Creative Arts Eliot in August offers a choice of hands-on, expert-led workshops that change annually and have included collage, acrylic painting, memoir writing, drumming, embroidery, and even pickleball

During the afternoons and evenings, campers lead organized activities of all kinds: swimming, dances, games, concerts, crafts, and more. Take part in as many as you like, or savor time simply visiting with friends or enjoying a good book.

Eliot Institute is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to operate camps and conferences promoting personal and spiritual growth for Unitarian Universalists, their families, and friends. Every camp creates and supports an inclusive community of celebration, friendship, exploration, relaxation, and joy. Learn more. Register for upcoming camps at eliotinstitute.org
