Camp Sweyolaken Troop Camping Event

Troop Camping events are open to troops of all levels, Brownie through Ambassador! Traditionally held at Camp Four Echoes, we are branching out to Camp Sweyolaken (Camp Fire USA) while our new lodge is under construction. We will provide group orientation, Event Staff (teen) assistants, flag ceremonies, campfire program on Saturday night, Scouts' Own on Sunday morning and a participation patch. Troops provide their own troop leadership (following required ratios), food, cooking utensils for outdoor cooking and any other program supplies they need for any additional program that weekend. All adults must be registered Girl Scouts with a clean background check. Troop also must supply one adult with first aid/CPR training and one adult with Stepping Out training.

Camp Sweyolaken is accessible to campers only by boat. Troops will park their cars at the landing (near Camp Cross on Lake Coeur d'Alene). Participants and their gear will be transported by a shuttle boat. It's important the troops arrive on time Friday night to avoid missing the boat!

Fee: $27 per person, includes boat fee per person and participation patch. REGISTER

Girl Scouts Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho is partnering with Peak 7 Adventures to offer a fantastic white water adventure on the Spokane River. Peak 7 Adventures Whitewater Rafting trip is such a thrill that most groups are willing to swim back to the beginning to do it all over again!
