In North East Ohio we have 5 Girl Scout council owned camps. They range dramaticly in what they have to offer. Two camps have obseratories, three have newer in ground pools, all offer archery and canoeing, one has teepees the girls can sleep in, most have platform tents, cabins or lodges. Most tent and cabin sites have latrines. Most lodges have indoor toilets, showers, kitchens and fireplaces. Several have lakes appropriate for wading to catch tadpoles or fishing. One has an outdoor ice rink in winter. One has a craft lodge complete with pottery wheel and kiln. All have hiking trails. None still have horses, but a few have connections to nearby stables. The girls in my troop love troop camping anytime of the year! We use Scout camps, public campgrounds and state parks. Unfortunately, this summer when my daughter wanted to attend week long Girl Scout summer camp, all of the weeks when she could go (after softball season) filled quickly. Our council offers mall lock in overnights, and overnights at zoos and museums, but we've not done that. Our area Service Unit likes to plan themed camp weekends - pioneer camp, fairy camp, quilt camp, ect and we always atend those camporees because they are a ton of fun!
