OVErNIGHT CAMP
...Coming 2026...
YOUTH OVERNIGHT CAMPS
Overnight Camp at Camp Point of View will introduce young teenagers to nature throughout the different seasons of the year — all while learning stress management techniques they can utilize throughout their lives. Whether it is learning to fish, outdoor yoga, outdoor cooking, or walking meditation — we aim to help kids have FUN in whatever they do at camp. We believe if kids can relate to and enjoy these activities they are infinitely more likely to take these skills home with them!
All kids benefit from getting into nature and out of stress and attending camp. That being said, Camp POV is extra-intentional about making sure kids from underserved communities attend — disadvantaged children are most likely to experience the greatest stress toxicity and need tools for resiliency.
We are currently in the process of developing programming and administration and getting licensed by the state for overnight camp at a location in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Stay tuned for updates and registration opportunities!

Other Opportunities to Get to Camp
Don’t have time or the ability to come to camp in-person? We are currently developing a series of online and on-demand mindfulness, yoga, and meditation camp classes helping kids get into nature and learn stress-management techniques they can use for the rest of their lives.
Once registered, all you’ll need is a Zoom-capable tablet or laptop — ideally one that can be brought outside. We ask children be IN or NEAR nature if at all possible during the class, as we will use their environment throughout the sessions to help them strengthen their mind-body-nature connection. Can’t get outside? Have your child do class near some great indoor plants or a window with a nice view of the outdoors if possible.
