Here at Girl Scouts, we are huge advocates of spending time outside—and going to camp is a perfect way to interact with nature and spend time with fellow Girl Scouts and friends. Whether you are experiencing archery or the ropes course for the first, or just gathering around the campfire. Our three campsites are available for creating unique, memorable experiences. Join us at Camp Hoover, Camp DeWitt and The OVAL to continue your outdoor adventure.
There is no shortage of things to do the whole year through at our camps. Find out more about how your troop or group can schedule a stay at a GSHNJ camp property.
Our camps are beautiful and full of activities and accommodations for all sorts of events: Girl Scout troop activities, family gatherings, service unit camporees, corporate outings, rustic weddings, day trips and more are waiting for you. Each camp is unique, but they all offer a chance to unplug from daily stress and reconnect with nature in a safe, easy, supportive environment. We have exhaustive list of activities and all-inclusive offerings for you to choose from. In addition, we offer a range of sleeping accommodations, sure to speak to every camper’s taste. From high adventure to formal event to easy-going lounging, no matter what, your group will feel right at home.
