Historic Hike at Camp Namanu

Come walk the trails of one of Oregon’s most beloved summer camps! This is a special opportunity to visit Camp Namanu, a 101-year-old site where generations of Portland-area children have laughed, learned, and made lifelong memories.

We’ll explore scenic trails along the Sandy River, share stories, and celebrate the history of this iconic place. Whether you’re a former camper, a curious newcomer, or just looking for a beautiful hike with good company, all are welcome. We will meet in the camp parking lot at 9 am.

Bring snacks, lunch, and water. Please wear sturdy boots or walking shoes. Most of the 4-5 mile hike will be on rustic trails and paths, which may have rocks, vegetation, or muddy spots. Bring hand pruners to help clip invasives as we hike, if you’d like.

Let’s take a walk through time together!
