Great times, great memories, great experiences! For over 50 years Camp Lou Henry Hoover has been creating great summer memories for girls of all ages. Since 1953, we have been providing girls with the opportunity to learn, discover, explore, challenge, create and make new friends in a friendly camping environment. Great times and great experiences are what make our resident camp program so special! At Camp Hoover we gear our programs to girls entering grades 1-12. All our activities are grouped according to interest, age and ability to make your stay more enjoyable and comfortable. A variety of programs and sessions, designed to meet the interest of all girls, are available. Camping provides a way for girls to empower themselves, develop lifelong skills and create great memories.

We have developed and refined a camper program that meets the strictest requirements of the Girl Scouts, the Youth Camp Safety Act and the American Camping Association.

Any girl entering grades 2-12 – regardless of race, color, religion, age, national origin, socioeconomic level or disability is welcomed!

Camp Hoover is a journey into independence – a place where you and our experienced counselors plan your weekly adventure together.
