"Namanu has been my second home since I was 10 and I've been going every summer since. It's something I look forward to all year. I've met some of my best friends through this camp and discovered my love of nature. I want others to continue experiencing the joy I've found there."
Our Programs
Welcome to Camp Namanu! Tucked away in beautiful Sandy, Oregon, an hour from both Portland and Mt. Hood, Namanu covers more than 550 acres where campers, families, and community members can play and explore.
During summer, we welcome campers entering grades 2nd through 12th to our century-old summer camp program. ​Throughout the year, we also offer Family Camps and Community Events such as Service Weekends, Camp After Dark, and our annual Friends of Namanu alumni weekend. These are opportunities for families, alumni, and the greater Namanu community to join us in this breath-taking setting to learn, play, sing, and enjoy time in nature.
Read on to learn about our upcoming programs and stay tuned for more program announcements in the coming months!
