About the provider
Camp El-O-Win opened in 1959 after 58 acres were given to the Golden Valley Girl Scout Council by the Grimmet Family in 1958 to build a summer camp for girls. Friends of Camp El-O-Win was incorporated in 2004, reopened El-O-Win for weekend camping in 2005, received 501(c)3 tax exempt status in 2006, purchased the camp from the Girl Scouts for $800,000 in 2007, and built the new footbridge in 2014. Its mission is to preserve, enhance, and promote El-O-Win and its traditions as a safe place where campers discover their abilities, values, and talents in a beautiful mountain setting.
- Lodging Rentals — Cabin or tent rentals with family or favorite group.
Campers need to register under their family, not as the member of a Troop/group under the Leader. Failure to submit the forms or final payment by the deadline will result in the camper/adult being pulled from the event.
