★★★★★Jesnjer EsbinI went here as a kid and as a counselor. Now a volunteer 🙋♀️ for SOCA! Swimming, boating, archery, hiking, star gazing, climbing/zip line, and exploring. Camp songs and grace before each meal is made to be as non-denominational as possible. Replacing words to honor the cooks is a wonderful touch. It is LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive of every individual. Anyone can feel at home in the spider dome. This camp has a Lake Ely a glacier lake. It is wonderful to see the marks of those over the years. Traditions and stories continue to be passed on for the 2nd oldest Girl Scout camp- longest running.
