NEW for 2025; 3-Day Overnight Camps

The NEW 3-day camps are for those who want an action-packed and affordable adventure for a short period of time. The three-day camps do just that and also serve particular age groups so the naturalists can tailor a special outdoor environmental program to fit their interests.

We are offering six Monday-Wednesday sessions.

This unique 3-day experience is a fantastic way for young people to have great summer fun while learning to become good stewards of the environment.

These camps are secular (non-religious).

Each session focuses on outdoor environmental education. This includes canoeing, kayaking, high ropes, low ropes, archery, outdoor cooking, etc. but also adding in fun, hands-on elements from natural sciences; biology, astronomy, geology, physics, etc. .

Things to know:

  • Your child's counselor is called a "naturalist".

  • At the end of the camp, "junior naturalist" awards will be presented.

  • Camp begins at 10 AM Wednesday and ends at 2:00 pm on Friday.

  • Campers live in the "Lower Lodge" - a comfy bunkhouse with beds, bathrooms, showers, and a snack-kitchen

  • We strive to learn sustainable living by doing.

  • Campers experience many of the same classes presented to schools plus new ones created especially for the summer season.

  • We perform one short service project to make Sound View a little better - possibly weeding out invasive plants and replanting ones that are native.

  • Campers enjoy fun evening (and late-night) activities, games, and campfires.

  • We have but two nights to play with so the naturalists will make each one an amazing experience.

  • Hearty, nutritious meals are served in the dining hall.


We pack an incredible amount of fun and learning into these abbreviated camps and fully expect campers to return home tired - but ready and eager to change the planet for the better.

We can likely accommodate another pickup time that works better for your family, please contact us if this applies to you. Even better, reserve a cabin, RV site, or tent site and continue the fun with the rest of your family over the weekend! Your child's three-day camp staff will be your family camp hosts!
