Program Description: Gather your troop for a 3-day, 2-night camp adventure like no other! Explore all that camp has to offer with our camp staff guiding you through a variety of engaging activities. Troops will be assigned to units together, and communal meals will be provided in the dining hall. Each unit will have the chance to cook a meal over a fire and everyone is invited to the closing night campfire for a sing-along. The camp team will work with each troop to customize their camp experience to their Girl Scouts' levels and interests including swimming, boating, arts & crafts, rope course, archery, nature activities and more. This is a great opportunity for troops new to camping, or campers not yet confident to attend camp on their own. Come join us for an exceptional Troop Camp experience, where adventure and bonding harmonize to create unforgettable memories!
Troops must register with sufficient number of adults to meet ratio for the number of campers registered. All adults in attendance must be registered members with current background checks. Adults do not need to have completed any camping training to attend, as activities will be led by camp staff.
Troop leaders and adults are responsible for providing direct supervision of their participants throughout the camp session, while camp staff will facilitate activities and help uphold camp rules and expectations.
Troops will receive a planning questionnaire three weeks before their camp session to help customize their troop's camp experience.
Unit Life:
- Unit assignments are carefully determined based on program needs, participant numbers, camper ages and available beds, ensuring a comfortable and well-organized experience for all campers.
- At Lake Clear there are 2 types of units with mattresses on cots
or bunkbeds: lean-tos or small cabins.
- Lean to Units - Each lean-to unit includes 6-8 sleeping structures, with most structures sleeping 4 people each. Staff/adults will be housed in one structure within the unit, while campers will be paired or grouped with fellow program participants. A communal bathhouse is located nearby with flush toilets, shower stalls and potable water for washing and drinking.
- Cabin units - Each cabin sleeps 10 - 16 campers, with a separate room for staff/adults. Cabins have one single occupant bathroom (with shower stall, flush toilet and sink), electricity and bunks beds with mattresses for campers and staff. A shower house with multiple private stalls and flush toilets is available nearby.

Troop unit assignments are based on troop size and program capacity:
-
The maximum unit capacity is 20 people (this is a lean-to unit). Troops larger than 24 may be split into two groups. The largest cabin sleeps 19 people.
- Smaller troops may be asked to share a unit with another troop, depending on program capacity.
-
This structure ensures a safe, fun, and collaborative camping experience for all participants!
