Camp McCormick debuts improved facilities and scenic campgrounds
Families are invited to visit Camp McCormick’s Open House this Saturday
Countless local Girl Scouts—past and present—have fond, sun-drenched memories of Camp McCormick, a treasured scenic camp property in the stateline area for decades! Camp McCormick encompasses nearly 400 acres of pristine wilderness and open prairies stretching along almost two miles of Rock River frontage. Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) will host a Summer Camp Open House for the community on Saturday, April 13, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., at Camp McCormick, located at 9995 North Girl Scout Road in Stillman Valley.
This free event is open to the public and will feature tours of new and improved Camp McCormick facilities, fun hands-on camp activities (including roasting s’mores!), along with a GSNI Rope Runners regional competition, presented by Danfoss! All interested Girl Scouts, potential Girl Scouts, and their families can learn which summer camp session is a good fit for their camper! Camp staff will be on hand to answer questions and accept camp registrations during the event!

Why Camp?
Camping is a great way for girls to explore leadership, build skills, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois has a variety of facilities—from tents and cabins to year-round lodges—that are available for Girl Scouts to create their own unique camping experience or join us for council-sponsored camping events where we provide the activities and supplies. With new activities and amenities at all our camps, there is something for every girl!
