Camp Tall Trees is a residential camp especially for girls and is organized by Girl Scouts of Northern California. Camp Tall Trees is open to girl scouts and non girl scouts alike. We aim to make it possible for any girl to attend irrespective of her families ability to pay. We are usually able to grant financial aid to those girls who would otherwise be unable to attend.
As many of you are probably aware, Wolf Creek Education Center in Redwood National Park, the usual home for Camp Tall Trees will be undergoing renovations and improvements this summer. We are excited for these improvements that will include upgrades in the electrical and water systems, new trail lights, cabin insulation and dehumidifiers and much more. However, this does mean that Camp Tall Trees will not be held at Wolf Creek this year.
Camp will still be happening with Forest Friends (Grades 1-3) and Explorer (Grades 4 -5) camps being held at Howland Hill Outdoor Education Center just outside Crescent City. Older girls (Grades 6 -10) will attend Camp Tall Trees “Under the Stars” in southern Oregon.

A true camping experience with lots of adventure for older Girl Scouts. This year’s camp will be held in Oregon’s Applegate Valley just north of the California border. Girls will live in patrols, learn to cook for themselves, and learn valuable outdoor skills. There will also be plenty of time for other activities.
Camp Tall Trees is run entirely by volunteers. We would like you to consider volunteering. We have opportunities for administrative volunteers, resident adult volunteers and day helpers.
