Camp Namanu, Summer camp in Sandy, United States.
Camp Namanu extends across 552 acres of forest land along the Sandy River, near the Bull Run Watershed in Oregon.
Established in 1924 as a Camp Fire Girls facility, the camp continued operations through World War II when a T2 tanker received the name SS Camp Namanu.
Children's author Beverly Cleary spent time at Camp Namanu in the 1920s, later incorporating camp references in her literary works.
The facility operates summer programs for youth and provides space for outdoor education through the Multnomah Education Service District throughout the year.
Architect Pietro Belluschi designed four structures at Camp Namanu, including Uncle Toby's Story House, which remain part of the camp's infrastructure.
