Troop Camping at Camp Playfair is a great way for your troop to come camp in the great outdoors!
Camp Playfair is a 13-acre property in Lexington, Michigan. Shoreline beach access is now available, but swimming currently is not. However, if your troop would like to go swimming, CPF is located 8 minutes from Lexington Beach in Lexington, and 20 minutes from Lakeport State Park in Fort Gratiot Twp.
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.
Only one adult is needed to reserve your preferred lodging option. If the GSSEM Events Calendar is showing a "One Adult Space Available" option next to the building name, that building is available to rent for the weekend. The camp team will reach out 4-6 weeks prior via email, for your final roster.
Cost:
Trillium $220 per weekend
Ringler $420 per weekend
