Camp Edey offers two pools, an archery range, miles of hiking trails, and a frog-friendly pond, and Girl Scout troops can camp there or spend the summer there. Camp Sobaco includes miles of hiking trails, a treehouse, a large archery range, a pool, and the Discovery World STEM Center, where children take part in interactive experiments and demonstrations, special guest presentations, and immersive activities.


Camp Edey was first incepted in 1941 near Sag Harbor, and in 1945 the camp's Board of Directors voted to establish the camp in Bayport. Camp Edey was named after Sarah Birdsall Otis Edey, a Bellport resident, suffragist, and poet who served as National President of Girl Scouts of the USA from 1930–1935 and is the only woman from Long Island to have served in that role. The Juliette Low Friendship Center at Camp Edey is a community center that hosts many council-wide events, programs, and training workshops. Camp Sobaco is home to the Discovery World STEM Center and is being renovated, and it is accepting donations for the re-opening of the Discovery World STEM Center.
