Shadow Lake is the main attraction at Camp Agnes Arnold, located near Conroe, offering 35 acres of cool, refreshing fun for Girl Scouts. While camping girls may enjoy canoeing and fishing on Shadow Lake, swimming at the pool, taking a walk down the Peace Pole trail, archery on the range overlooking the lake or borrowing a bike to pedal through camp. The Nature Center hosts many displays on local plants and animals and includes classroom spaces for Girl Scouts to use. Adjacent to the Nature Center is a bird blind where girls can observe wildlife on Shadow Lake. Camp Arnold is also home to extensive hiking trails, and troops can sign up for the popular weekend hikes led by certified foresters and earn a special patch for their participation.
During the summer months, Camp Arnold is home one of GSSJC’s three resident camp programs and also hosts day camps.
