3 Season Events

Kick off your Year at one of our 2021 Winter and Spring camping events!

Camp is a place where you unleash your inner G.I.R.L. ( Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, Leader)™ and discover that you can accomplish anything so why limit that to just the summer? Our trained and caring staff members support girls ages 5-17 in discovering who they are and who they can become. Our engaging programs and activities are designed with girls’ interests in mind, so they can grow their passions and take healthy risks in a safe, supportive environment.

When a girl enters our camps, she grows by learning new skills, engaging with other campers, and having fun. She joins over 100 years of sisterhood and tens of thousands of Girl Scouts (including many of our staff members!) who have found lasting friendships, discovered their strengths, challenged themselves, made lasting memories, and returned home with an all new love for outdoor experiences.

Camp Meriwether: Nestled in the hills south of Atlanta, Meriwether is on 270 acres of shady woods and open fields. Girls learn archery, saddle up with our English equestrian program and create amazing art in the great outdoors. Meriwether’s deep traditions keep girls coming back year after year.

Yes, You Can! Aug 13-15

School is back in session! Come to Camp Meriwether to take some of the load off and lessen any anxiety about school being back in session. Let’s get outdoors this weekend and have some fun! We will be taking camp by storm and participating in some of the traditional camptivites like archery and canoe along with other engaging activities to learn important life skills. This weekend is designed to help you adjust back into a routine and get back into the traditions of camp. Brownies will work to complete their Letter Boxer badge as Juniors work to on their Social Butterfly badge and Cadettes work on their Archery Badge. Will you come join us for a getaway to reset, prepare for the year, and have some fun to start the school year off right!?!

This weekend might look different when compared to other weekends at Meriwether because of GSGATL’s guidance regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will still have an amazing weekend! We still love giving girls the chance to experience camp and the outdoors and are striving to make this an experience you’ll love, while keeping everyone safe.
