Sponsored Camp Wood Haven
Discover a summer where confidence grows, friendships form fast, and every day feels like an adventure. Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Camp Wood Haven is the kind of place where girls in grades 1-12 unplug from screens and plug into nature, creativity, and leadership in a way that feels exciting—not forced.
Imagine waking up in a tree house, Conestoga wagon, or Adirondack cabin to fresh air and birdsong, then spending the day exploring wooded trails, trying new outdoor skills, creating hands-on crafts, and laughing around camp with a supportive community. Camp Wood Haven overnight programs blend classic camp magic with purposeful growth, helping campers build independence, resilience, and teamwork while still having the time of their lives. Plus, Wood Haven is known for its top-quality equestrian programs!
Here, girls don’t just participate, they belong. With caring staff, age-appropriate activities, and an environment designed to build confidence, campers leave with more than memories. They leave with stronger voices, braver hearts, and friendships that last long after summer ends.
Ready to give her a summer she’ll never forget? Come to Camp Wood Haven - for all girls, not just Girl Scouts!
