Troop Camping

Troops can plan their own outdoor getaways for a day, overnight, or weekend at one of our program centers or any approved non-GSMH site. When they go troop camping and decide the trails they want to trek—they take ownership of their outdoor skills!

Note: COVID-19 may impact reservation and activity available.

Here’s what you need to know before your troop camping adventure:

• A camping experience of less than one week in duration that takes place within GSMH boundaries is considered troop camping. • Overnight camping at a GSMH Program Center requires at least one official adult volunteer per unit that is certified in

GSMH outdoor level training. Another adult volunteer must be certified in CPR and First Aid. • Troops must obtain approval from GSMH before camping on non-GSMH sites, except for overnight backyard camping.

Backyard camping does not require approval. Troops can use the Outdoor Experiences on Request to add even more adventure to their camping experience at any of our four program centers.

Reserving Program Centers

Outdoor Experiences on Request

Girl Scout members are invited to reserve our program centers for free! To reserve our program centers, visit our website and fill out the Program Center Reservation Form. Reservations are currently available for day and overnight use. Confirmations will be sent to the troop after a reservation is complete.

Outdoor Experiences on Request are outdoor programs that can be customized to meet the needs of your troop or group! Each program includes a basic skill introduction and are facilitated by GSMH-paid Outdoor Experience Facilitators.
