About Hidden Lake Camp toggle arrow

Hidden Lake Camp is nestled on 400 acres in the southern portion of the Adirondack Park, approximately three miles from Lake George Village. The camp includes a small private lake, streams, low mountains, and woodlands. Each year, hundreds of Girl Scouts and volunteers make lifelong memories at HLC while camping out, learning and developing outdoor skills, and growing their appreciation of nature.

About the Importance of Outdoor Programming toggle arrow

Discovering the wonders of the outdoors is a hallmark of the Girl Scout Experience. Spending time in nature has proven beneﬁts for girls including improved concentration and creative reasoning, as well as fulﬁlling the critical need for digital detox in our modern world.

Girl Scouts helps girls move out of their comfort zones by providing access to the outdoors and fun experiences in nature. Eight out of 10 girls say Girl Scouting allows them to engage in outdoor activities they have never done before and wouldn’t have done otherwise.

Helping Girl Scouts prosper in the outdoors includes fostering:

Outdoor Competence: “I learned about the sky and how to read star maps.” –Senior

Outdoor Interest: “Getting away from everyday life and enjoying nature is a great stress reliever.” – Senior

Outdoor Conﬁdence: “Nature can be scary, but it’s also really fun.” - Brownie

Environmental Stewardship: “We can keep plants and animals safe by keeping the environment clean.” - Brownie
