We are preparing to run resident camp, family camp, and troop camp with adaptations to ensure the safety of campers and staff, such as reduced group sizes, masks, enhanced wellness checks, and enhanced cleaning and sanitation. Our girls need camp now more than ever, and we are doing everything in our power to make that happen!
Ways to Camp
**Due to the high number of cases in our state, as well as guidance from GSUSA and the CDC, we are not currently hosting any in-person programming at this time. We will evaluate this weekly, and if the situation changes, we will update this website and our member newsletters.
Programs will continue to be delivered in a virtual format. For a complete list of virtual programs available locally and from GSUSA, visit our Girl Scouting at Home page.**
Camporee Update
Camporee is a large Girl Scout gathering featuring fun, singing around the campfire, and other outdoor experiences held every three years at Trefoil Ranch, with the next gathering scheduled for June of 2021. We have made the difficult decision to postpone Camporee until summer 2022.
Our camps are accredited by the American Camp Association, who provided us with robust guidance on ways to safely hold summer camp. That guidance emphasizes small groups of campers, which is why we will not be able to hold our traditional large Camporee in 2021. By postponing until summer 2022, we are hoping we will be in an environment where it is safe to hold this popular event, which typically includes nearly 1,000 participants.

Resident camp and family camp registrations open December 14. Troop camping registration opens February 11, 2021. Activity scholarships are available.

Girl Scouts Soar in the Outdoors - 2019
This report from the Girl Scout Research Institute, supported by the Elliott Wildlife Values Project, summarizes findings from a 2018–19 study investigating the impact of outdoor engagement and national outdoor badge programming on girls—including the achievement of Girl Scouts of the USA’s outdoor outcomes (PDF). Responses to 1,690 girl and 236 troop leader surveys were analyzed. Results showed that Girl Scouts is getting girls outdoors; exposing them to new and challenging experiences; and enhancing their outdoor interest, confidence, and competence. Girl Scouting is also building girls’ commitment to environmental stewardship, which will help them engage responsibly with nature throughout their lives. In short, outdoor adventure enriches the Girl Scout experience for girls.
