Ecotone Press creates professional templates and resources for camp directors, summer camp program directors, outdoor educators, and youth program leaders who spend their days in nature and their evenings buried in paperwork.

We know you didn't get into outdoor education to write staff handbooks from scratch. You got into it for the campfires, the teachable moments, the kids who find themselves for the first time on a ropes course or a river bank. The administrative side of running a summer camp or outdoor program is real and necessary — but it doesn't have to consume you.

Our templates are built specifically for the outdoor education world, not adapted from corporate HR or generic business resources. Every document we create reflects the language, culture, and values of people who work in nature — because that's where we come from too.

The Ecotone Press shop includes editable Word and Google Docs templates for camp staff handbooks, staff training materials, parent communications, incident documentation, and more. Every product is an instant download, fully customizable, and ready to put to work before your next summer camp season begins.

We also publish free resources and practical guides for outdoor education professionals through our blog — covering everything from building a strong staff culture to navigating the administrative requirements of ACA accreditation.

Whether you're a first-year summer camp director figuring out what a staff handbook even needs to include, or a seasoned program director looking to save twenty hours of document creation time, Ecotone Press is built for you.

Templates for the outdoor education world. Instant download. Built for the field.
