Yes, campers should bring a lunch and a water bottle. An afternoon snack will be provided to all campers.

Yes, boys are welcome almost all the weeks at Hoover Day Camp.

Some weeks will be girl only and will be indicated by week!

Hoover is located on scenic Song Lake. The lake is owned by the Song Lake Association which does not permit public access, so our waterfront remains fairly quiet and calm. We have a swimming area divided into sections for different swimming abilities. Water shoes are required to be worn by all swimmers. We have canoes, rowboats, and kayaks. We also have our own private island, Girl Scout Island, that is perfect for troops looking to go primitive camping.

Song Lake is a kettle lake that occasionally experiences algae blooms. In this case, water games will substitute swimming.

We will have approximately 35-55 campers at Day Camp.

Drop-off begins at 8:30 am and pick-up is between 4 and 5pm right at Hoover.

Busing is available for $50 per camper per week from Destiny USA, 1 Destiny USA Dr., Syracuse, and Wegmans, 6789 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville for an additional fee.

Yes, financial assistance is available for registered Girl Scouts. We want every Girl Scout to be able to experience camp regardless of their financial situation. Please register for camp first to hold your spot, and then submit this aid request form online.

During check-in every day campers will be greeted and invited to settle in and join a game or activity. We will begin our daily schedule activities promptly at 9:15 am upon the bus arrival. Campers will travel with their assigned unit throughout the day to all activities including swimming, boating, shooting sports (archery or slingshots, depending on age of camper), field games, arts and crafts, nature, and STEM. Snack is provided in the afternoon before pick-up. The whole camp gathers for an All Camp activity!
