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.
