Camp Misty Meadows - Register for Camp!

Horseback riding is the main attraction at Camp Misty Meadows near Conroe. The Robert and Janice misty-meadows McNair Equestrian Center includes four riding arenas and a herd of 40 horses waiting to be ridden, loved, hugged and groomed by summer campers.

Only those girl scouts who sign up for a riding session will ride. Not all sessions are riding sessions. In addition to the four-legged attractions, the camp offers a pool, archery range, riflery range and a covered pavilion. Traditional camp activities such as making crafts, hanging out with friends, enjoying nature, going on hikes, cooking outdoors, playing games and making new friends are all part of the fun.

Cabins and dormitories are home to girls staying at Camp Misty Meadows. Campers enjoy most meals in the air-conditioned comfort of the Wortham Lodge. The lodge also features a stage, craft/activity rooms and a large covered patio.

(Registration begins on February 1, 2013)

Registration is available online for each week of camp. Register now for Camp Misty Meadows!

Please Note: Not all sessions ride. Check to make sure riding is included in the session you choose if this is one of the experiences you are expecting your child to have.
