Join us for a heartwarming camping experience that brings Girl Scouts and their dads, uncles, grandfathers, or the special men in their lives together through the magic of the outdoors. Whether you're an experienced camper or trying it for the first time, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The weekend is limited to Girl Scouts and the male father figure in their life. Please see the Family Weekend to bring your whole family. Choose to camp in your own tent, or reserve a room in a shared cabin, or a platform tent for you and your Girl Scout, (for an additional fee except for your own tent).

Spend quality time roasting marshmallows, sharing stories around the campfire, exploring scenic trails, creating crafts, and participating in fun team challenges designed for all ages. Pre-registration is required for High Challenge Course with Zipline and Giant Swing activities for an additional fee (see details below). This year, families can also put their culinary skills to the test in our exciting Chili Cook-Off. Do you have the best chili recipe? Enter the competition and see if your chili takes home first place!
All participants, day or weekend will provide all their own meals.

Campfire Connections celebrates togetherness by encouraging fathers/male father figures and their Girl Scout(s) to work as a team, try new experiences, and recognize one another’s unique strengths. Guided by the values of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, this program helps build confidence, cooperation, and a sense of belonging in a supportive, welcoming camp environment.

Create lasting memories, strengthen family bonds, and enjoy a weekend filled with adventure, laughter, and connection in the great outdoors.

**This is a parent/Girl Scout event. We do not require background checks on all adults attending. Parents/Guardians are responsible for the supervision and care of their Girl Scout and family. Please plan to supervise your child(ren) as you would in any other public situation (such as at an amusement park or public campground).
