Camp Namanu

Camp Namanu is a summer camp situated on a large forested property along the Sandy River in Oregon. The grounds contain multiple buildings and outdoor spaces designed for youth programs and educational activities throughout the year.

The camp was founded in 1924 as a Camp Fire Girls facility and continued operating during World War II. A cargo ship was named after this location during the war years.

The camp sits on land that has long been important to the local community for outdoor learning and recreation. People of all backgrounds come here to experience nature together through organized programs and activities.

The camp is accessible through summer youth programs and year-round educational activities. Visitors should check in advance about which types of programs are available and how to participate.

Renowned architect Pietro Belluschi designed several buildings on the grounds, including a distinctive story house. His architectural designs remain visible and shape the appearance of the property today.
