Camp Welaka Troop Camping  Weekend - Friday, May 8-10, 2026

Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida

It’s time for Troop Camping! Check out our designated troop camping weekends, designed to welcome multiple troops for one or two nights.

Girl Scout Camp Welaka

Are you ready for an outdoor adventure? Troop camping is an incredibly fun component that is unique to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience! A troop camping trip provides an easy way for girls (at any grade level) and volunteers (at an experience level) to experience the great outdoors, unplug from tech-driven distractions, learn new skills, appreciate nature and bond as a team. Girl Scout troop camping is different from other outdoor experiences because it is a group effort and with girls involved in planning, and execution, of the activities, schedules, and meals that appeal to them.Your troop camping trip has lots of potential activities at GSSEF’s Camp Nocatee (Hendry County) and Camp Welaka (Martin County) – and both camps have a full-time, fully trained, experienced, and attentive onsite Camp Ranger. As a troop, you can plan for swimming in the pool at Welaka, small watercraft on the lake such as canoes or using CORL boards, trying archery, shooting at our new sling shot ranges, going hiking, fire building, outdoor cooking, trying nature-inspired crafts — and so much more! Our easy-to-use online reservation system will show volunteers the activity options for both camp properties – as well as sleeping site descriptions and capacities.Our camps come alive on our designated troop camping weekends! These special weekends are designed to welcome multiple different troops to host their own trip, at their own camp sleeping site, while also offering the opportunity for girls and adults to meet others from all over our six counties.
