100 Years of Camp Juniper Knoll

Get outdoors with Girl Scout friends year-round! Our programs provide a safe and supportive environment where youth make new friends, try new things, and collect life-long memories. There are several ways to be involved in the outdoors with Girl Scouts.

Attend a council led event with your troop or family
Visit a green space in your community
Reserve a space at one of our camp properties with your troop
Plan a troop or service unit campout as a facilitated outdoor program

Every year Girl Scouts GCNWI puts out a variety of exciting outdoor programs for individuals, troops, and families to participate in. You can find and register for these outdoor programs below.

Outdoor Program Guide

Requested Facilitated Outdoor Program toggle arrow

A requested facilitated outdoor program is any program that is planned, prepped, and run by one or more members of the Outdoor Program Team that has been specifically requested by a troop, group, or Service Unit. This includes requested recreation, workshops, badge events, and outdoor programs or campouts.

A great place to start is to reference the different facilitated outdoor program offerings listed in the “Requested Facilitated Outdoor Program Options Packet” to see what programming we can provide.

After that, please fill out the request form below to indicate your interest in booking a private facilitated outdoor program.

Requests for facilitated outdoor programs are handled on a case-by-case basis in the order that they are received and are subject to factors such as property and staffing availability. You will be contacted by a member of the Outdoor Program Team to determine if we can honor your request.
