Description: Get ready for your summer adventure! Burke Lake Adventures encourages girls to explore, be themselves, challenge themselves, make new friends, and build self-esteem while enjoying themselves at camp. Campers will learn songs, play games, make arts and crafts, gain outdoor skills, and work towards badges. Our program is outdoors and the girls participate in nature hikes.

Camp activities (including field trips, extended hours, and overnights) are offered at the discretion of the camp leadership team and may be modified or canceled to follow COVID-19 restrictions. Camp activities may not be available to all units and can be canceled due to weather or other extenuating circumstances.

Volunteer at Camp!

Burke Lake Adventures is planned and put on each year by a group of dedicated Girl Scout volunteers! Due to safety ratios, enough adults must volunteer each year for camp to run. Unfortunately, if not enough volunteers sign up, camp will be cancelled. We need your help to ensure that camp can happen this year and that every girl has an amazing camp experience.
