Camp Sacajawea is your first step to outdoor adventure! Settled over 430 acres of wooded ravines just northwest of Boone, IA, Camp Sacajawea has a long history of girls coming to grow in self-esteem, confidence, activity skills, creativity, and building life-long friendships. Whether you are joining us for our residential summer camp season, visiting for the weekend with your troop, or coming to one of our Outdoor Programs in the fall, winter, or spring, you will experience the beauty of Camp Sac’s natural surroundings and get a taste of the camp magic that has been inspiring girls for over sixty years!

Camp Tanglefoot is a beautiful 50-acre camp nestled in a unique setting, with part of the camp along the shore of Clear Lake, a big meadow to play in, hiking through the forest, and catching a glimpse of wildlife in the prairie and on the marsh. Campers live in small cabins and traditional platform tents during their stay at camp, and spend most of their time outdoors. Our two large, year-round lodges provide indoor programming space, and a third lodge is where we eat meals! Campers can experience boating and swimming at the waterfront, games in the meadow, shoot a round of archery, or try the ropes course! A place like no other, Camp Tanglefoot!

Located near Westfield Iowa and owned by the Nature Conservancy, Camp Joy Hollow is available for rentals exclusively to Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa members from April through October. With 360 acres of peaceful vistas and deep valleys in the Loess Hills, Camp Joy Hollow offers opportunities for a relaxing weekend or a new adventure.

Camp Juliette is located on 27 wooded acres within the city limits of Marshalltown. The area features lots of spring wildflowers and animal life. Deer are an almost common sight. An old stagecoach trail once crossed the property and is still visible. The lodge is a two level frame structure that is energy efficient. The upper level has two sleeping areas, a small meeting room, two bathrooms, and six exits to the outside deck overlooking the Juliette grounds.
