It's Official! CHH's Whispering Woods Discovery Center Unveiled During Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony
October 22, 2021
GSSEM's Whispering Woods Discovery Center was finally unveiled during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, October 9, at Camp Hawthorn Hollow (CHH).
Construction began in 2017 but got delayed several times due to COVID. The 4,500-square-foot building gives campers additional space to enjoy programming centered around STEM, robotics, electricity, natural sciences, and animal tracking.
"Since opening the facility last year we have hosted several events for some of our partners including the YMCA who hosted their Camp Staff Training here," said GSSEM CEO Monica Woodson. She also noted that both the Departments of Natural Resources and Homeland Security have hosted training sessions in the center.
GSSEM started utilizing the beautiful new space for smaller Girl Scout events and family camps in late 2020—and more recently for Camp CEO.
