Available at Camp Hawthorn Hollow only! Troops are invited to come out for select weekends throughout the year to participate in staff lead activities all weekend!
Troop Camping gives your troop the opportunity to spend the weekend
at Camp Hawthorn Hollow to enjoy a planned itinerary of staff-led
activities or come with your own troop's programming. Feel free to
also use all our free program areas while staying at camp during the
weekend!
Troops are responsible for providing their own
meals throughout the weekend. Troops must also meet the proper Adult
Volunteer to Girl Scout Ratio as well as have a Troop First
Aider.
Should you choose to add-on staff lead activities,
the Camp Program team will provide your troop with your schedule a
week before your Troop Camping weekend. We aim to have a variety of
activities based on the season that you are camping during. All
activities are subject to staff availability. Please note that your
troop may be paired with another troop during these sessions.
