High Adventure

Take your troop on an adventure they’ll remember for the rest of their lives! Whether earning a badge, working on a Journey or just having fun, Girl Scout troops have a blast when they experience camp together. Troop Camp is a year-round opportunity available most weekends throughout the year and on weekdays during the summer.

Climbing Wall and Zipline

Whether Troop Camping or just coming out for the day, the climbing wall and zipline are open to any group or individual. Participants are also welcome to enjoy other activities in the area like climbing on the spider net, bringing a picnic, taking a nature hike or playing GaGa ball.

The climbing wall and zipline are operated by trained facilitators who assist girls on their memorable outing. Participants must climb the wall in order to zipline.

Dates: Open on Saturdays and Sundays from April-October
Check-in: 20 minutes prior to scheduled time
Registration Deadline: Two weeks before each date

Individuals or groups can register for a 90-minute session, which has a 10-person limit. Troops who exceed the 10-person limit can choose two time slots. If a girl is registering to attend as an individual, an adult must accompany her to camp and be present during the program. Adults are welcome to register.
