Sunclan's camp is a rocky hollow, seeming to be made from the surrounding rock that naturally became the choice for the camp's location. It is large enough to fit several cats comfortably, being surrounded by the redwoods and pines of their forest outside the protective barrier of their camp. The barrier is of dead brambles and European holly bushes, which only has a small opening at the entrance with small ledges leading up to it. Leaders Den: Located on the inside of a long fallen pine tree hollowed out from seasons of termites and other wood-eating insects with the entrance covered by lichen. The floor is rocky save for a small opening in the rock that serves as the sleeping place for the clan's leader that is covered by sand. Another part of the pine's trunk rests on it's top leaning against a single boulder known as High Point where the clan leader can speak to their clan to hold ceremonies and give announcements. It is located between the entrance and warrior's den.
Nursery: The nursery lies at the back of the camp in one of the cracks of the hollow that goes into a small cave opening with sand on the floor with enough room to fit several queens and their kits. The entrance is given protection by the use of a holly bush growing in some cracks above but not completely blocking the opening with thick roots woven among them for better reinforcement. It also lies close to the Sun Pool in which a small pool gives an excellent source of water in which the Greenleaf River flows into with a small waterfall trickling down.
Elder's Den: Lying on the other side of the pool beneath another part of the long fallen pine tree at the back of the camp. It gives shelter from the rain and wind and connects to a small indention in the rock in which the elders use it and the trunk to sleep in. The entrance is covered in brambles and thick roots woven together to give greater protection.
Warrior's Den: The den lies near the entrance opposite of the leader's den within a small cave formed from years of erosion that has a small tunnel before one comes to an open area where the warriors sleep. Like the other dens it is partly covered by a holly bush with brambles woven into it.
Apprentice's den: Lying in a cave near the leader's den but on the opposite side of the entrance the set up is very much like the warrior's den. The entrance is covered by a holly bush woven with brambles for some protection but an opening remains allowing the young cats to go in and out easily.
Medicine Cat's Den: This den lies between the elder's and warrior's den that is made up of a small tunnel at the entrance connected to two large openings within the rock. One on side is a series of natural ledges serving as the shelves for the herbs with a dent in the ground in which the medicine cat makes their bed. In the other side is a series of nests in which sick cats can lay down and where the medicine cat can keep an eye on them. The entrance is covered by lichen allowing in minimal light.
