COURAGE. CONFIDENCE. CHARACTER.

Girl Scouts of Macomb County's Camp Hawthorn Hollow offers amazing year-round camping experiences to Girl Scouts of all ages. Few that pass through the doors of a cabin, sing camp songs in a circle of friends, trek through the woods to the sledding hill on a crisp winter afternoon, stand in awe of an early morning mist, or sit at the edge of a campfire circle in its flickering warmth are untouched by the magic of camp. Tall pines & maple trees…starry nights and sunny days...places to explore and grow are found at Camp Hawthorn Hollow located in Columbus Twp. (St. Clair County) just north of Richmond, Michigan.
