Burke Lake Adventures was founded 30+ years ago and has continued to inspire girls every summer since. We have a new theme each year that ultimately reflects friendship, creativity, exploration, and leadership. As a week-long summer day camp we jam-pack our activities that could be something anywhere from hiking and puffy paint art to slingshots and water games. During the week we make sure to teach GS badges for each level and pass on the Girl Scout promise to our campers. At camp you might see a puppet show by Mr. Keith, get a lesson on hydration  from our nurse Ms. Diane, or see our special camp mascots hiding in the trees. 

What really makes Burke Lake Adventures so special is our amazing team of volunteers, leaders, AITs, Aides, and directors who work year round to make camp the memorable place that it is.
