Mini sessions and horse resident camp and horse mini sessions are also part of the lineup. To see all the programs being offered and to register, you can view the 2022 camp book here. Along with the traditional camp offerings, we wanted our service unit and troops to have camping opportunities throughout the summer as well. So new this year, Camp Ginger Cascades will be the place to do that! The camp will be open all summer long for troops and service units to reserve different lodging options and give their girls their very own camp experience. Ginger Cascades is full of adventure- from the natural cascades and scenic surroundings to the traditional camp activities like archery, the climbing wall and swimming. It’s a great place to give your girls the gift of being outdoors. Just show up and let our camp team do the rest! We hope you are as excited as we are to welcome summer and all these exciting adventures. Visit our newly added Outdoors section on our website to find all the information you need.
