Outdoor Adventures

I've been a Girl Scout leader for 12+ years and this is the first Leadership Conference that I've attended. It's true you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm going to recap the information that I learned today. Each session that I attended will have a post.

Why I signed up for the class
Growing up my family was not the the "outdoor" family. Outdoor adventures were going to an outdoor mall or a water park. My level of comfort of has increased over the years. I'm so grateful to have a great team of co-leaders and parents that joined us on our camping adventures. 
If you are interested in camping please plan months in advanced. Post in the Facebook if you need assistance.

Rent a Camp
Check the Rent a Camp page for description for cabins, FAQs, and other information


Rental Application is online but you can't see availability from the form. Please note that this form needs the users to create another username and password (yup, it's frustrating).
