Shadow Lake is the main attraction at
Camp Agnes Arnold located near Conroe. The
lake offers 35 acres of cool, refreshing fun for
campers. Girls may enjoy canoeing, swimming,
nature study, and fishing on Shadow Lake.
The legends of the Magic Elf and Hipper
entertain and delight the imaginations of all
campers. In addition to the focus of the session,
campers also participate in traditional camp
activities such as swimming, making crafts, going
on hikes, hanging out, archery, playing games, and
making new friends.
Campers will stay in tents, tree houses,
or cabin units of 24-36 girls each. With a view
of the lake, girls eat most of their meals in the
air-conditioned Ann Temple Allen Lodge. Near
the lodge, the climate-controlled craft rooms and
library/memorabilia room also offer an escape from
the summer heat.
The Little Mermaid
This session is for campers who love to splish
and splash while swimming, canoeing and playing
water games. The only thing missing from this
session is a tail! Girls will work on activities from
the Wonders of Water Journey.
Firelight and Fairytales
If you like eating s’mores, singing songs, playing
games, swimming, cooking outside and listening to
fairy tales, this session is for you! Girls will work on
the Hiker Brownie Skill Building Badge for outdoors.
Wonders of Water
Did you know that the ice cube floating in NEW!
your drink could have once been dinosaur
drool? Learn about the history and nature
of water and become a water warrior as you work
on items from the Wonders of Water Journey. Girls
will spend plenty of time in the pool and down at
Shadow Lake enjoying water games and fun.
Messy Munchkins
Bring lots of soap, this session gets messy! Girls
will participate in the human tie-dye experiment,
learn to grease bicycle chains and become human
s’mores. These messy munchkins will also work
towards the Brownie Girl Scout Way Legacy Badge.
