Where You'll Stay
With all the fun you’ll be having during the day, you’ll be tuckered out and happy to have a quiet place to rest your head at night. Campers and staff live in groups called units. Girls are housed in groups of 4–10 campers, with Troop Leaders or parents/guardians in the cabin. At night, staff members are always nearby, if needed. A central shower house is available for girls to use.

- Tree houses are off the grounds cabins with a deck and slide, screened in windows and fans. It sleeps 10 girls.
- Traditional cabins have screened in windows, electricity and fans. They sleep 8-10 girls.
