Camp El-O-Win 2024 Group Camping
Groups can camp at El-O-Win instead of renting a public campground for their camping trip. Camp offers a secure setting away from the public, access to a landline in case of emergency, an endless supply of firewood and friendly Camp Hosts. Campers can stay in cabins, tents or teepees. Fees are charged per facility and Activity Instructor.
Each group is self-sufficient and decides:
- Who is in the group (family, Girl Scout Troop members, co-workers, fitness buddies, baseball team, etc.);
- age and gender;
- which Camp El-O-Win facilities to rent;
- dates of their stay;
- activities to be organized/scheduled; and
- meals to prepare.
