Camps

We're about growing stronger, feeling better about ourselves, having fun. Girl Scout Camps are all about fun and adventure. It's about meeting new friends and getting together with old ones. Laughing. Swimming. Kayaking. Biking. Exploring. And above all else, growing strong. So this year, make camp all about what you want. Climb a mountain. Hike a trail. Ride a horse. Shoot a bow and arrow. Be daring. Be outrageous. Be a girl who can do anything she wants. Find out a lot about who you are. And how much fun it is to be you.

Girls have the opportunity to experience the outdoors at one of two camps owned by the Girl Scouts of Cahaba Council. Each camp provides trained staff members who are excited to share their own talents as they encourage girls to explore new interests with an abundance of activities in a safe, secure environment. Resident and day camping programs are available at both camps, as well as troop camping.

Camp Coleman

Established in 1925, Camp Gertrude Coleman is located just 17 miles from downtown Birmingham in Trussville, Alabama. Nestled on the banks of the Cahaba River, the camp's 140 acres offer the perfect setting for outdoor adventures. No previous camping experience is required, just a desire to meet new friends and have lots of fun!

Kanawahala Program Center (KPC)

KPC is located just off Highway 280 in Chelsea, Alabama on 600 acres of woods loaded with hiking and biking trails. With its 40-acre private lake and junior Olympic-sized swimming pool, KPC is made for girls who love water activities.

Troop Camping

Girl Scout troops/groups may schedule use of both camp facilities for year-round activities. Enjoy a fun-filled summer camp experience at Camp Coleman with your whole troop (including leaders and moms). Meals will be provided and a certified first-aider will be on duty.

Non-Member Services

Camp facilities are also available for corporate meetings, company meetings, retreats, training sessions, and parties. The activities, lodging, meals, and staff will be adapted to your group's needs and desires.
