Naselle Youth Camp School

The **Naselle Youth Camp School (NYCS)** is a specialized educational facility located in Naselle, Washington, that serves residents of the Naselle Youth Camp, a juvenile rehabilitation institution operated by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). Because the student body consists of youth currently within the state’s juvenile justice system, the school is designed to provide a structured, supportive academic environment that allows students to continue their education while fulfilling their rehabilitation requirements.

The curriculum at NYCS is tailored to meet the unique needs of incarcerated youth, focusing on credit recovery, high school completion, and vocational preparation. The school operates with a mission to bridge the gap in these students' educational journeys, providing them with the necessary skills to successfully reintegrate into their communities upon release. By emphasizing individualized instruction and maintaining a strong connection to Washington State’s academic standards, the school aims to foster both personal development and long-term academic success for students who might otherwise face significant disruptions in their schooling.
