Girls have the opportunity to participate in the Foxtail Feather program, discover new skills, connect and make new friends, grow in confidence, gain a sense of independence, enjoy the outdoors, and just have FUN!

Every day is a new adventure, and I am so excited to share that adventure with every person that comes to Camp Ducktail!

Dear Girl Scouts, I am so excited to welcome you into our camp family! I know that finding the right summer camp can be a tough decision, but I can assure you that your girl will have the most amazing experience at Camp Foxtail.

With fully trained staff from all over the world we offer activities from archery to tie dye to slingshot range and adventure course to build our girls of courage, confidence and character.

Seeing the girls become independent, strong, leaders is my motivation in building a solid program and continuing to develop the outdoor education program. Please do not hesitate to call or email us throughout the year if you have any questions or concerns. Building the relationships with our camp families is very important to me.

Dear Girl Scouts, I can’t wait to see you at Day Camp! Within a week at day camp we see girls grow and build friendships with solid foundations. Day camp gives girls the perfect opportunity to branch out and do something different with their day while still getting to go home to tell their families about what happened.
