Featured Camp | Camp Ginger Cascades & Camping with GSCP2P

May 9, 2019

Each summer, thousands of girls from across North Carolina attend Camp Ginger Cascades with Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont.  Girls participate in day and resident camp programs to make new friends, have fantastic adventures, experience the great outdoors and just have FUN!  Week-long sessions range from horse care and culinary quests to STEM projects and off-site adventures– there is truly something for every girl.  And Girl Scout camp is not just for Girl Scouts!  All girls, entering grades 1-12, are able to attend their camp programs.


Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont’s (GSCP2P) three camp properties are Camp Ginger Cascades in Lenoir, Camp Pisgah in Brevard and Keyauwee Program Center in Sophia, outside of Greensboro.  Each camp property offers unique accommodations including cabins, platform tents, yurts, hammocks and primitive tenting. Along with the weekly themes each camp offers during the summer, girls also get to experience traditional camp activities including swimming, boating, archery, arts and crafts, climbing walls, campfires (with S’mores!) and more.

All three camps are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), a national organization that sets high standards for both the health and safety of campers and staff and the delivery of quality programming.  And, year-round camp directors work hard to recruit, hire and train skilled staff who have program experience and a sincere desire to work with young women in the outdoor environment.  

GSCP2P also offers additional camp opportunities beyond summer resident camp. Girls in grades 1-8 can attend day camp at all three properties and week-long transportation assistance is available for day campers at multiple stops on the way to camp. Girls can also come to camp with their families during annual Family Camp weekends.
