Camp Sealth, founded in 1920, serves youth in the Puget Sound
region with up-to-date outdoor recreational and educational
programs. This residential camp focuses on small group living,
camper planning and integrating campers with mild to moderate
special needs. We serve thousands of youth each year on 400
acres of forest and wetlands with one and half miles of waterfront on
Vashon island.
To be effective, progressive groups need to build public support, build
political power, and build their organizations. That’s where the Fund for
Public Interest Research comes in. We help progressive groups wage
the campaigns that help preserve our environment, protect human
rights, clean up politics, and challenge corporate power. Individual
organizations, ranging from the Sierra Club to Human Rights Campaign
hire the Fund to accomplish specific objectives, including building a
membership, generating political support for an issue, or raising funds.
