★★★★★RellumI absolutely love Camp McCormick from Friendship center to Troop house & Greenwood. All awesome fun places to camp. We have made many great memories at Camp McCormick
★★★★★Lorilee WiseThe leaders were awesome! And the seller-bration was awesome. The trails are well kept for the girls and facilities well kept. Guidelines were followed and everyone was respectful or personal choice.
★★★★★Ashly StrombergBeautiful indoor pool!! Cute swing benches outside and very easy to get to from every camp site at camp McCormick. We did not use the sunrise/sunset rooms (we used Troop house) but toured the facility and there 28 bunk beds in each room with living room a gorgeous kitchen. Pools are clean and the “human fooseball” pit outside is a nice touch! Our GS troop LOVED our weekend at camp McCormick and had a blast swimming inside the friendship center.
★★★★★Carly SiriannYou must be a girl scout to go here. The facility is clean and warm despite freezing temperatures outside. The friendship center itself is a facility for girl scout troops to rent. It has a sleeping area, a large room and a pool you can rent if you meet all of the safety points. Thus is located in a girl scout camp that has lots of places to hike. If you are a girl scout than this is the place for you.
★★★★★Flo JoI don’t usually like camping/ intense outdoor activities :), but we absolutely love Camp McCormick! We would visit again. Always clean, great events. The port-a-potties were surprisingly clean/ approachable. There are a variety of camping spaces/ options and activities. If you haven’t been to the camp yet: Watch out for the signs- they come up on you fast, but there are two main parking lots we’ve used. The nursery on the corner now has a dark brown barn instead of the bright red. I’m pretty sure it used to be bright red- it was easier to spot the nursery in the past to know if you were headed in the right direction towards Camp McCormick.
