For the tenth year, women from all over the country will gather at Meadow Mountain Ranch near Allenspark for Women’s Week. It’s truly the most fun you can have in the Colorado high country. All women ages 18 and up are invited. You do not have to be a registered Girl Scout, or have ever been to camp before. It’s the most fun if cross-generational groups come - moms, grandmas, aunts, kids. It’s also a good chance to invite your friends, co-workers, neighbors or past Girl Scout friends to join us in the great outdoors. GSCO Board members and staff are always welcome!
Dates: July 25 - 29, 2024
First meal: Lunch on Thursday
Last meal: Brunch on Monday
Cost: $300.00 for entire event or
$80.00 for 3-meal part-time option
The theme for this year’s Women’s Week is “Toys and Games at Camp!” Included in the list so far are kites, bubbles, hula hoops, parachute games, frisbees, card games, skits, singing games, Lemmie sticks and much more. Archery is possible as well as the new Zip Line. We’ll even have fun with food, guided by our great cooks.
We’ll stay in the tabins in the units (wooden floors, wooden roofs and canvas sides). We’ll cook out some meals in the units and eat some meals in the lodge.
Of course, music is a huge part of every Women’s Week. We’ll sing around the campfire, have special sessions to just sing, really we’ll be singing everywhere we go.
