The Museum of the Outdoors (MOO) is a pop-up event on Squam Lake in Sandwich, New Hampshire. The event will feature a series of creative installations. Whimsical, interactive, and thought-provoking, MOO includes sculpture, fine art, music, performance, and conceptual pieces. 

October 4, 2025

noon to 3 pm

This year we hope to feature over 30 artists, more music, and light refreshments by the lake. The “creators” will install their work that morning, open it to the public from noon to 3pm, and break it down by 5 pm. It is a one-afternoon, leave-no-trace, cultural, community event. Last year, hundreds attended and enjoyed the experience for the afternoon.

The event will be held at Camp Hale, a 100-year-old summer camp that serves Boston youth. The camp provides a beautiful setting with open spaces and woods along the shores of Squam Lake. Be aware that the terrain is steep and rugged in places! 

MOO is free. Free to the creators and free to the admirers. In a world where everyone is selling and fundraising, MOO is simply about celebrating creativity, community and the outdoors. Rain date is October 5.

Camp Hale is located at 92 Millbridge Road, Sandwich, NH. Due to the rugged terrain, MOO is not handicap accessible.  For more information, contact Vicky West at 978-729-9390.
