We are so incredibly lucky to have several beautiful properties that offer year-round camping to enjoy the outdoors in Michigan! Come have fun at camp as a family or a troop, reserve a lodge to stay overnight, or just visit for a day trip, either way, you'll have a memorable time together!
Please Note: prices below are for Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan members, for out of council or group pricing, email reservations@gshom.org for details.
Day trips are a fantastic way for troops to have a camp adventure! Enjoy fun camp activities, as well as make progress towards outdoor badges. The camp staff will support you through your entire stay, all you have to do is pay for activities, bring a sack lunch if you are at Camp Linden or Camp Merrie Woode, and be ready to have a blast! If you are going to Camp O’ The Hills, you can purchase a lunch with a drink and dessert for $8.
After you receive a confirmation for your reservation, camp activities need to be submitted & finalized two weeks before your trip to accommodate the request with the proper staff to facilitate the activities.
Please Note: requesting activities does not guarantee they’ll be available.

Whether you’re discovering the wildlife at Camp Linden, swimming in a lake for the first time at Camp Merrie Woode, planting flowers at Kalamazoo Day Camp, or helping save the turtles at Camp O' the Hills, every outdoor adventure grows your “I’ve got this” attitude. And once you unlock that confidence, you’ll aim as high as the stars you see in the night sky.
