LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. - PennZone -- As part of its "Summer of Sisterhood" programming, Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) invites girls to experience summer at two of its scenic camp properties in Lehigh and Schuylkill counties, Camp Mountain House and Camp Wood Haven. Involvement in Girl Scouts is not a requirement for participation, and all girls in kindergarten through 12th grade are encouraged to register.

At each camp, young girls experience a tech-free environment that promotes problem-solving, encourages new challenges, and fosters friendship through activities ranging from swimming to outdoor cooking. Camp Wood Haven and Camp Mountain House offer a variety of experiential learning opportunities.

"Summer camp is where girls build confidence, discover new interests and form lasting friendships in a supportive, empowering environment," said Kim E. Fraites-Dow, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. "At our camps, every activity is designed to encourage curiosity, independence and a sense of belonging."

Camp Mountain House offers eight weeks of day camp for campers entering first grade through 10th grade. Founded in 1942, Camp Mountain House is nestled in a wooded sanctuary on South Mountain in Lehigh County, just outside of Allentown.

Camp Mountain House runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended care hours available before and after camp. Camp Wood Haven offers full, half and multi-week camps. New for Summer 2026, Camp Wood Haven will offer an Overnight Starter Camp that supports young campers entering grades 1 through 3 on their first overnight camping adventure.
