IT’S A GIRL THING— GIRL SCOUT CAMPS

Camp Logan Open House

Girls and their families can explore Camp Ella J. Logan, 203 EMS Lane D 14, Syracuse, on Sunday, May 22, from 1pm-4pm to learn more about summer resident camp opportunities. Camp Logan, located on Dewart Lake, offers overnight camp sessions for girls entering grades 1-12; girls do not have to be Girl Scouts to attend this camp. During the open house, girls can take a tour, roast s’mores, tour the facilities and meet the staff.

The Summer Camp 2005 brochure is also available at www.girlscouts-limberlost.org.

For resident campers, Camp Logan is known for its true back-to-nature philosophy, with platform tents and stone fire rings. It’s the perfect camp experience for the outdoor adventurer! Camp Logan offers more than 200 acres of woods, meadows, wetlands and an island. Because girls spend their days and nights at Camp Logan, they develop real friendships that will last a lifetime. During the day, girls might be taking a hike, canoeing or kayaking in the lake or perfecting horseback riding skills; no matter what their activities, girls progress at their own pace.

To reach Camp Logan, travel Highway 30 west to Highway 13. Turn north and follow Highway 13 through North Webster, then turn west at the flashing yellow light at County Road 1000 N; Camp Logan will be 3 miles ahead on the left.
