Camp Director - Sandra Weber “Mystery"
"Hello camp friends! I am so excited to be back for another magical summer at Camp Birch Trails! This will be my 19th summer working at a Girl Scout camp, and I can’t wait to get out to the Ranges, cook over a campfire, and race against Wave in the lake. I’m looking forward to sharing the beautiful trees, lake, and wildlife with everyone who visits this summer.
“Now I see the secret of making the best person; it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.” —Walt Whitman
Camp Birch Trails is where camp magic happens. There is nothing like an overnight sleepaway camp. Friendships are forged around a roaring campfire after a day of new experiences and incredible adventures. Each of our camp tracks focuses your time at camp on the things you love. Being away from home can be a bit intimidating. But having time to explore and try activities independently will make you more self-reliant and confident. So many amazing things happen each day at camp. Although minor setbacks may happen, campers are building resilience and learning how strong they are. Each of our camp theme weeks focuses your time on the things you love, and no matter what, campers will have a magical time at camp, growing in nature with new friends."
