Troop Camping at Camp Playfair is a great way for your troop to come
and spend a weekend camping in the great outdoors!
This
is an opportunity for your troop to plan outdoor activities, meals,
and anything else camp related while at Camp Playfair. Feel free to
use all our free program areas while staying at camp during the
weekend!
Troops are responsible for providing
their own meals and programing throughout the weekend. Troops must
also meet the proper Adult Volunteer to Girl Scout Ratio as well as
have a Troop First Aider. No GSSEM Staff Led programming or safety
ratios will be provided during troop camping weekends.
You may rent programs in a backpack for an additional
$10/per backpack if desired for your troop. We offer fire building,
letterboxing, animal tracking, plant identification, and knot tying!
Please contact us camp@gssem.org for more information.
