Troop Camping & Service Unit Encampments toggle arrow

Spend a night or weekend with your troop at Jockey Hollow or Lake Rickabear. Each camp has something unique to offer. This is a great way for girls to learn about the outdoors and bond with their sister Girl Scouts.

Service Unit encampments can be held at either of GSNNJ's camp facilities (capacities range from 150 to 300). Food service is available for groups of 25 or more.
