Camp Kaufmann
Description: Camping is a quintessential part of the Girl Scout experience. At camp, girls learn to appreciate and respect nature. Girls get to try new things, participate in traditions and learn to be independent, while at the same time sharing experiences and new knowledge with others. Most importantly, girls will experience the beauty and fun of Camp Kaufmann together!
