Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee offers girls the opportunity to discover, connect and take action through camping. With four Girl Scout properties in the middle Tennessee region, girls can take part in summer and day camps as well as year-round camp activities. Each camp offers adventures for Girl Scouts of all ages. Whether it’s riding the horses at Camp Sycamore Hills, rappelling down the tower at Camp Holloway, trekking through the wooded trails at Camp Piedmont or canoeing at Camp Nee Kah Nah, girls are certain to create memories that will last a lifetime.
