Is your camper ready for some high adventure? From art with horses to zip lines, our camp programs can help your child discover new interests, connect to camp experts and push their comfort zones.
Challenge Courses
Our Challenge Courses provide exciting team-building opportunities for groups and individuals to develop confidence, a collaborative spirit and problem-solving skills. We offer programs throughout the year open to all registered Girl Scouts, and private sessions can be scheduled through our reservation system. Participation is based on progression, building a challlenge-seeking attitude and a growth mindset, and climbing skills from the ground up.

Equestrian Programs
Settle into your saddle and ride through beautiful scenery on horses and trails suitable for beginners and seasoned equestrians alike. Horse programs include basic horsemanship skills such as how to care for a horse, tacking up and riding safely in an arena or over varied terrain. Activities are tailored to each camper's skill and age level.

Additional Council-led Programs
Throughout the Girl Scout year, we host exciting and engaging programs at all of our camp properties. Girl Scouts can tackle challenge courses, hit the trails on their new best (horse) friend, experience frontier life, go on a paddling adventure and more.

Counselor In Training
Calling all future camp counselors! If you are ready to unlock your leadership potential and your love of the outdoors, you can start working toward your Counselor-In-Training (CIT) Award.
In our CIT program, you will gain the tools you need to become a mentor to younger campers. This training is aligned with the CIT Awards Girl Scouts can earn and display on their uniform. Once you begin working on our CIT II Award, you may choose one of our specialty tracks, including a focus on the equestrian, challenge course or waterfront programs.
These leadership programs are the first steps toward one day working as a volunteer CIT and then a full-fledged camp counselor!
CIT Progression
CIT ▶ CIT II ▶ Camp Ambassador
The CIT Award is only the beginning. Here's how you can go from trainee to paid camp counselor.
- CITs must attend the two-week CIT I Camp to complete their CIT I Award.
- CITs then attend at least one CIT II Camp session. The CIT I Award is a prerequisite for this session.
- If they have earned both the CIT I and CIT II Awards and are still enrolled in high school, they may apply to be a Camp Ambassador at one of our summer camps. The application is coming soon.
