Where Nature Inspires Learning
Nestled on 67 pristine acres and surrounded by protected parkland, Camp Puh’tok provides students with a unique opportunity to explore the outdoors, disconnect from technology, and engage with the natural world through hands-on experiences in streams, forests, meadows, and wildlife habitats.
We offer three types of field trips—environmental education, team building, and Native American & Natural Resources—which can be scheduled individually or combined for a full-day, immersive experience that supports both academic and social-emotional learning.
