Near a pristine chain of lakes, freshwater marshes, sagebrush habitat, and magnificent basalt rock formations, Camp Delany at Sun Lakes- Dry Falls is an ideal location to learn about this beautiful ecosystem. This desert oasis is located in the Grand Coulee area of the Columbia Basin, 7 miles southwest of Coulee City and the Grand Coulee Dam.
Following STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathmatics) campers will learn to utilize several different tools and techniques that are commonly used by professionals that work within the ecosystem. They will also create art projects that help build an understanding of the unique beauty that is the shrub steppe. Act fast, this camp only has 40 spaces available!
With funding provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, this camp is completely free to those who want to attend.
There are 8 bunkhouses on the Camp Delany grounds. A few of them are pictured to the left. Each bunkhouse is equipped with beds and air conditioning units.
There is a seperate bathroom facility within a short walk from the bunkhouses.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions prior to registering your camper! Our staff will be able to help in any way we can.
