Camp Arnold
Founded in 1966, and owned and operated by The Salvation Army. We are located on 670 pristine acres, with a spectacular view of Mount Rainier, secluded meadows, and a breath taking wetland beaver habitat. We have 3 miles of nature trails, canoeing on our peaceful lake, a challenge course, climbing wall, beautiful Nature Center, outdoor playing fields, modern cabins, indoor gymnasium, outdoor amphitheater, dining hall, large outdoor swimming pool, chapel, outdoor and indoor activity areas, and The Old Pumphouse Espresso.
We offer several summer camp, conference/retreat, team building, outdoor education, and adventure opportunities. Summer Camp experiences are offered based upon the age of the camper and are outlined further throughout the site. We are available for daily, weekly or weekend rentals by schools, churches and other groups. Our Outdoor Education classes and Team Building experiences are specially tailored to suit your needs.
What do we do at Camp Arnold?
Our Outdoor Education programs are designed to supplement classroom learning by providing students the opportunity to explore the natural world with all their senses in a community environment.
Our challenge course is a collection of games, initiatives, and elements (high and low) assembled to present challenging activities for the purpose of individual and group growth.
Volunteer
We are always looking for quality volunteers to help round out our programming! If you or your group would like to volunteer to help us with a project please contact our office or email the Director at jeff.potts@usw.salvationarmy.org .
