Camano Community and Senior Center

"A PLACE FOR ALL YOUR CELEBRATIONS"

 A GLIMPSE AROUND THE CENTER

The Camano Senior and Community Center provides the ideal setting for weddings, receptions, dances, and celebrations of all types.

Weddings Galore

There is on-site parking for 93 vehicles in the fully lit parking lot, with additional parking available at neighboring Utsalady Elementary School. The dramatic drive-through covered entrance to the facility is both visually appealing and helps to protect visitors from the possibility of inclement weather.

Passing through the automated stained glass front doors designed by local artist Jack Archibald, the welcoming lobby area features a river rock fireplace, an attractive seating area, with a ceramic tile floor. Adjacent to the lobby visitors will also find the library/hallway, which features a fine collection of books and several nooks with comfortable overstuffed chairs; a perfect place for reading or conversation. Wi-Fi access is also available throughout the entire building.

Sundin Room Wedding

The "Sundin Room" (50' X 45'/2,250 sq.ft.), named for P.J. and Anna Sundin, a 1905 Camano Island Pioneer family, seats approximately 160 persons at twenty one 30" X 96" banquet tables, with a maximum occupancy of 353. (Past facility users have rented round tables which decreases the seating capacity.) The Sundin Room features a fireplace, maple dance floor, lots of windows, a variety of lighting options and provides access to the outdoor terrace and amphitheatre areas.

The adjacent "Education Room" (37' X 23'/851 sq.ft.) comfortably seats 48 persons at eight 36" X 96" tables banquet style with a maximum occupancy of 57 and features a residential type kitchen facility, lots of windows and access to the terrace and amphitheatre.

Ampitheatre Reception

The sound system can accommodate cassettes, CD's and several microphones. Speakers are located both inside the building and outside in the terrace/amphitheatre area.  The sound can be independently adjusted in each area.

The landscaped grounds also provide a setting for many occasions; an inviting spot for a wedding, reception, concert, or party. The multi-level amphitheatre faces the back entry of the Sundin Room and surrounds one side of the terrace. Just off the side of the terrace is a 3' X 8' river rock barbecue (charcoal). There is easy access from the commercial kitchen to this area.
