February 1, 2016– Following a $3 million renovation, Camp Liberty (formerly Camp Conestoga) in New Liberty, Iowa, will open for the 2016 summer camp season!
Campers will enjoy a new lodge with attached cabins and a state-of-the-art kitchen, as well as, an indoor riding arena and equestrian center so girls can ride rain or shine! Another exciting addition will be a high ropes course that offers eight elements, a 300-foot zipline, and a self-belayed, 30-foot climbing wall.
“We want all girls to get outside and explore the outdoors, so we are offering additional camping options,” says Diane Nelson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. “For girls who love to camp in tents, we have many rustic camping experiences available. But for girls who are new to camping, they can now come inside at night and feel more comfortable.”
At camp, girls can be themselves and make lasting friendship with girls across eastern Iowa and western Illinois.
“I love being able to get away from the ‘real world’ and experience things that I don’t get a chance to do in my daily life, like hiking, building fires, and even having Jell-O fights!” says long-time camper, Zoë Hopewell. “It’s nice to have some time away from my everyday life in a place where I feel accepted and celebrated for who I am.”
Camp Liberty offers overnight camp sessions for girls entering grades 2-12, as well as, troop and family camping for girls as young as first grade. Register for summer camp at
GirlScoutsToday.org. Don’t wait, sessions will fill quickly!
