Sahale Nature Camp Registration is NOW OPEN!

Summer is calling (or trying to) and it’s time for adventure, discovery, and unforgettable outdoor experiences!

At Sahale Nature Camps, kids don’t just learn about nature… they experience it. From exploring forests and building shelters to discovering wildlife, creating nature art, and making new friends, every day is packed with hands-on fun and meaningful connection to the outdoors. Our goal is to return them happy and dirty by the end of the day.

🌲 Dig into real-world science
🔥 Learn outdoor skills
🦋 Explore ecosystems up close
🎨 Create with natural materials
🤝 Build confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging

Whether your child is brand new to the outdoors or already loves adventure, our camps are designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and full of opportunities to grow.

Introducing the Evergreen Founding Circle

We’re excited to launch the Evergreen Founding Circle, a community of monthly supporters who believe every child deserves meaningful experiences in the outdoors.

As a thank you, Founding Circle members receive monthly invitations to special hikes, outdoor classes, and adventures designed to connect our community more deeply with the outdoors.

Your monthly support helps us plan ahead, purchase equipment, train staff, and ensure more kids can access outdoor education.

Join the Evergreen Founding Circle and help more kids discover the outdoors.

Last month, Sahale Outdoors received a microgrant from CPIN’s Purpose Fund, and we’re already seeing the impact. With a portion of these funds, we were able to build a fire ring at the Sahale Outdoors Nature Center and created a gathering place for warmth, learning, and connection.

Last night during Wild Wednesday, kids cooked hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, and shared jokes around the fire. There was laughter, sticky fingers, a few dropped hotdogs and campfire fun that turns an ordinary evening into a core memory.

Thank you to Collaborative Partners Initiative for helping us create spaces where kids can slow down, connect, and truly belong outdoors.

Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers......Let's build igloos!

At the end of February, we’re heading into the snow for one of our most unforgettable adventures of the season. Think crackling campfires, gooey s’mores under the stars, and hands-on igloo building as we turn a winter landscape into home for the night.

This trip is all about learning winter skills, embracing the cold, and discovering just how fun (and empowering) snowy nights outdoors can be together. From teamwork in building shelters to cozy moments around the fire, this is winter camping at its best.

We can’t wait to bundle up, head out, and make memories in the snow. ❄️✨
Dates: Saturday, February 28th - Sunday, March 1st

Every month, we spotlight a few simple items that quietly make our programs possible. This month, we’re seeking donations of paracord and bandages—the everyday tools our kids use for shelter building, knot tying, first aid practice, and learning how to care for themselves and each other outdoors. Small supplies make a big difference. If you’d like to help keep our packs stocked and our kids prepared, this month’s trail list is open.

We are deeply grateful to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians for awarding Sahale Outdoors a $12,000 grant in support of our Wild Wednesdays program. This generous investment helps us expand free, weekly outdoor education for youth creating more opportunities for hands-on learning, nature connection, and joyful time outside. Wild Wednesdays reaches local youth who join us weekly for nature based programming. This funding directly strengthens our ability to serve the community with consistency, belonging, and impact.

Thank you for your continued commitment to youth, education, and the wellbeing of our region. We are honored by your support and excited for what this makes possible
