Join us July 3-5, 2026, for a new opportunity for Girl Scouts this
summer at Camp Torqua! Family Weekends: Training N' More will offer a
unique experience for Girl Scouts and Girl Scout volunteers to come to
camp together, enjoy what camp has to offer, make memories together,
and leave with a Camping Out, First Aid, or Archery
Certification!
Girl Scout family campers will cook dinner
together each night over the campfire, take a night hike around camp,
enjoy archery, gaga ball, and more! Summer Camp staff will provide
crafts and badge activities for girls on Saturday while leaders can
get certified in their choice of Archery, First Aid/CPR, or Camping
Out!
Families will check in on Friday at 5pm to settle into
their tents or climate-controlled cabins. Families will eat dinner
together, enjoy a hike, and an interactive movie under the stars
before bedtime. The fun continues on Saturday with badge activities
and training in the morning, an afternoon of family games, activities,
arts and crafts, and a campfire dinner (weather permitting). We'll
finish the campout with skits, songs, and s'mores around the campfire.
Check out Sunday at 9 am.
Family registration costs of $50 per
person include meals, lodging, activities, and certifications or
badges. All adults participating with their Girl Scouts are required
to have a current/eligible background check and to be a registered
Girl Scout adult volunteer.
Volunteers needed for Family
Weekends! Adult volunteers who are willing to give time at Family Camp
and volunteer to run an activity can earn $50 back on one family's
paid registration fees.
**Important Information: There will be a
mandatory Parent and Camper Virtual Meeting for all family campers on
Thursday, May 21st, at 6:30 PM to discuss packing requirements and
what to expect at an overnight family camp experience. This meeting
will cover essential information to ensure you and your Girl Scouts
are prepared and ready for this outdoor adventure!**
Cost: $50
per person. Please select either a cabin session or a tent session.
Tagalongs are permitted and must register to attend; please select the
