Troop Core Camp Overnight Option

Troop Core Camp is a fun and easy way for troops to enjoy the outdoors. Your troop provides the adult supervision and we provide the rest — program facilitators, song leaders, activity materials, lunch and a whole lot of fun! This will provide an opportunity for you to develop outdoor skills, practice archery, cook out lunch and spend some time in the outdoors. Although adult supervision is required, Troop Camp Certification is not. All adults planning to attend must register in advance and pay the program fees. Adults must be registered Girl Scout members who have succesfully completed a current volunteer application and passed a background check. We ask that to allow more girls the opportunity to attend, troops are conscious of the number of adults registering. Please follow ratios set in the Safety Activity Checkpoints for Events.
