Hidden Oaks Cabin – Valentine

This hidden jewel located in the Valentine City Park is the ideal place to stay when you’re heading out to the Niobrara River to canoe or tube or explore the many wonders of Nebraska.  With a sleeping room for 30, kitchen, showers and heat (big bonus is winter months), this is the perfect destination for your next Girl Scout getaway. Please call Mary or Jerry Henderson at 402.376.2026 or 402.376.1144 for rental information.

Lakeview Cabin – North Platte

Start planning a troop beach party and get ready to grab some rays!  At Lakeview Cabin you will have instant access to Lake Maloney, the perfect setting for sand castle building, fishing, canoeing or a summer beach blast!  Stay in the lodge (complete with kitchen, showers and sleeping for up to 14) or pitch your tent and gather ‘round the campfire for an unforgettable experience. Please email or call Pat at 800.458.4467 for rental information.

Camp Cosmopolitan – Grand Island

Tucked along the Platte River outside of Grand Island you will find Camp “Cosmo,” as it is lovingly called.  With easy access from the interstate, anyone can enjoy this outdoor gem. Because the terrain is not demanding, Cosmo makes camp life easy.   The river runs along the property providing a tranquil setting to explore, fish, wade, and canoe (when there’s enough water).  Or maybe you would like to challenge yourself on the high and low ropes, the zip line or the obstacle course.  After a day in the great outdoors, you can then catch some zzzs in the lodge or one of our cozy platform tents. Please email or call Cathy at 800.627.5940 for rental information.

Camp Crossed Arrows – Nickerson

Dense woods, large, open meadows and hills that are perfect for winter sledding, Camp Crossed Arrows has it all.  Enjoy breathtaking views when you stay in the Troop House, a cabin in Turf Town or one of many covered wagons.  Spend your days hiking, canoeing on the river or testing your skills and determination on the low and high challenge course—complete with a ride on the zip line.  No matter the season, Crossed Arrows provides a fun and open-air experience. Please email or call Stephanie at 877.447.5558 x221 for rental information.

Camp Maha – Papillion

Camp Maha is perched above the shores of the Platte River and is perfect for a camping experience full of exploration.  Equipped with an Olympic sized swimming pool, a challenge course (with zip line that will whiz you through the forest), an Earth education center, archery and acres of hiking trails, Maha has something for every Girl Scout to enjoy.  At night you can rest your head in one of our new cabins, a covered platform tent or slumber while you hang from the trees in one of our jungle hammocks. Please email or call Stephanie at 877.447.5558 x221 for rental information.

NEW THIS YEAR!   Girl Scout Island

Become one with nature on the recently acquired “Girl Scout Island.”  Adjacent to Camp Maha, Girl Scout Island is a 93 acre flood-plain forest and home to the most interesting and unique display of plant and animal life in the region.  Programs are currently being planned on the island where no one is ever voted off.
