About the Campus

2008-02-03T22:03:00.000-08:00

UCA is a residential high school located in the tiny town of Spangle, Washington just 20 minutes from downtown Spokane. Very private and quiet, the campus provides a great family atmosphere for campers. Campers will be staying in residential dorms. Each room has at least 2 beds and nearby shower facilities. These rooms are not air-conditioned and we suggest you bring a fan. You do not need to request a roommate before camp begins. When you sign up for a room, have your preferred roommate with you. If you have no preference, we will match you with someone of the same gender and similar age. The cafeteria facility provides an all-you-can-eat salad bar with fresh fruit, hot entrees with beverage, sandwich and cereal stations. Quality gyms and a nearby swimming pool are some of the top amenities of this site.
