Camp Kiwanilong

About Us

Camp Kiwanilong sits on 270 acres along the Oregon Coast between the cities of Seaside and Astoria. On the secluded banks of Long Lake and shaded by mature Sitka spruce trees, Camp Kiwanilong is ideally situated for outdoor activity. It features several trails, including a two-mile path that winds through lush wetlands before arriving at the beaches of the Pacific Ocean. Before hosting its first young campers, the site that eventually became Camp Kiwanilong served as an experimental arboretum. From 1936 to 1975, Clatsop County leased the Camp Kiwanilong property to the Girl Scouts. They cleverly crafted a name that represents our mission of community and nature. “Kiwani” comes from the service organization and “Long” comes from the body of water.

Providing summer youth programs for decades, the facility is also open for group rentals.
