Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey welcomes you to Camp Lou Henry Hoover, located in Middleville, NJ. Camp Hoover has been shaping great summer memories for girls in grade 1 to 12 since 1953 through learning, discovering, exploring, creating and overcoming challenges. Each summer, Camp Hoover provides a variety of programs and sessions designed to meet the interest of ALL girls. Camp sessions run from July 9 through August 19. You are grouped according to interest, age and ability in order to make the stay more enjoyable for all. In addition to your program theme, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of all camp activities including crafts, nature, hiking, archery, ropes course, games, cook-outs and waterfront activities, including swimming and boating. You will develop responsibility through “kapers” (jobs that help keep Hoover in order) and other fun and enriching activities. Camp Hoover is a journey into independence – a place where you and your counselors plan weekly adventure together in a relaxed, non-competitive environment. Hoover offers two experiences: General and Specialty. General camp programs enable you to experience an array of camp activities every day. Specialty Camp programs focus on a particular interest combined with tradition camp activities like swimming, boating, hiking, cook-outs, crafts and games. Housing depends on the program you choose. You can share a large platform tents equipped with cots and a storage area. Just a few steps away from the tents are the lavatory facilities with flush toilets, hot and cold running water, sinks and showers. Indoor shelter is available during a severe storm. The dining hall and program buildings are located within walking distance of the tent units. Based on your program selection you may also choose to stay in one of our camp buildings equipped with kitchens, bathroom facilities, sleeping rooms with bunkbeds and a common room for gathering. Campers are welcome to stayover between sessions for an additional fee of $90.
