Our Properties

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio offers many opportunities for girls to enjoy camping. The council has six properties with hundreds of acres throughout western Ohio available for camping activities. Each camp has a unique outdoor setting and has been developed with a particular type of camping and set of activities in mind. Whether you want a rustic, back-to-nature experience or all the comforts of modern amenities (and indoor plumbing!), we have the perfect location.

Our camps are available throughout the year for members to enjoy—you can host a retreat, camporee, workshop, or special event!

What’s great about Girl Scout camp? Everything! Our camps are available for reservations by service units and troops.

Pick one or more of the following camps to find out what we offer!

Camp Hosts at Camp Rolling Hills

Camp hosts are available at Camp Rolling Hills on weekends through October to answer all your camp questions, help you navigate the property, and find the resources you need.

These hosts are approved Girl Scout volunteers who have completed Camp Training and are here to help the Welcome Center, answer questions, and more.

Service Projects at Council Properties

GSWO receives many requests to place service projects on council properties and we are not able to accomidate all of them. When working with your Girl Scouts discuss if a GSWO property is the best place for the service project or is there a better fit in the community?

Consider talking with people at your school, community, church, parks, etc., for projects that will help make it better for people and the environment.Contact local nursing homes, shelters, food banks, schools, local governments, parks, zoos, crisis nurseries, daycare programs, domestic violence shelters, or other creative locations where girls can share their time with their community.

If a GSWO property is the best way to serve your community fill out the Service Project Approval Application with your Girl Scouts. When proposing a project at a GSWO camp or property keep in mind that:

  • The GSWO service project committe reviews applications once a month, please make sure you're giving yourself enough lead time.
  • Your Girl Scouts will be asked to do a presentation on the project before it is approved.
  • Please understand that certain camps are designated for certain topics, the commitee may come back with a reccomendation to move to a different property.
Camp Champ Patch Program Expand

Girl Scouts will be able to explore the outdoors where girls can be messy, make noise, and be active. Outdoor adventures have been an important part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience since 1912. Through the Camp Champ patch program, girls will spend time outdoors, learn to think creatively, and make their own discoveries.

The Be a Camp Champ Patch Program is for girls of all levels, and is designed to get your group excited about the outdoors, with the main patch to be completed before you go to a camp, and the extensions for you to complete by staying at Girl Scouts of Western Ohio camp properties.
