About Potomac Woods

Camp Potomac Woods is a Girl Scout sleep-away camp for Girl Scouts in grades K-11 (ages 5-17) where campers connect with nature and develop creativity, confidence, and social and emotional skills in a fun, safe, rustic, and traditional camp setting away from the digital landscape.

Located on the Potomac River in Loudoun County, Virginia, Potomac Woods is 50 miles northwest or 1 hour outside of Washington, DC, and is within driving distance of several major cities, including Richmond, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.

Potomac Woods is owned and operated by Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital, the largest Girl Scout council in the United States of America.

Campers attend a variety of specialty theme overnight programs that range from a one night overnight, to two nights, to five nights. This summer, we expect to serve around 100 campers per week and hire a staff of about 50.

The property spans 101 acres of hilly woodland with lots of trees - click here to see more pictures of the camp property itself. Potomac Woods has many nature trails and in turn, a full range of North American woodland wildlife including deer, mice, raccoons, turtles, foxes, opossums, beavers, snakes, spiders, and more.

Campers enjoy swimming at the pool, getting creative at arts & crafts, trying outdoor cooking, learning about STEM, and taking aim at target sports like archery, slingshots, knife and tomahawk (axe) throwing! Campers participate in many wonderful Camp Potomac Woods traditions, including campfires, singing, and hikes to explore the Pooh Tree or RiverWalk. Full of creativity and imagination, all programs provide girls the opportunity to explore the outdoors while having the time of their lives!
