Camp Overview

Founded in 1966, and owned and operated by The Salvation Army, Camp Arnold is 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 and much more! Our mission is to use this beautiful setting as a means to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, teach environmental awareness, encourage positive social behavior and safely provide opportunities for fun and adventure.

Camp Arnold offers several life-impacting sessions through three models  - Overnight Camps (5-10 day long sessions), Wilderness Experiences, and Day Camps. There are a number of different ways for you to serve as a summer leader! Whichever position you choose to apply for, you will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of campers and other summer leaders.
