CAMP LOCATION: We are located on 200 wooded acres of the Sacramento Mountains in southeastern New Mexico and are surrounded by the Lincoln National Forest.
Please visit our website for camp photos and videos.
CAMP FACILITIES: Our beautiful rustic facilities help create the unique experiences for our campers - many of whom have not spent time away from electronics and "civilization."
Our great hall and most of our cabins were built in the 1920's and 30's. Our cabins have a 1/2 wall in the front - letting our campers feel like they are sleeping in canopy of the ponderosa pine forest.
We also have equestrian facilities, an archery course, an Arts and Crafts center, and areas for campfires and cooking outdoors.
Because we are adjacent to the Lincoln National Forest, we have access to remote wilderness for our hiking and camping activities.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Mary White was founded in 1927 as one of the first Girl Scout camps in the country. Since then, countless girls and women have had the opportunity to experience the beauty, and challenges, of the outdoors. We strive to create programming that encourages community-building and risk-taking so that our girls leave camp feeling connected and empowered.
Our staff is trained in camper management, outdoor skills, and team-building. All of our staff are certified in 1st Aid/CPR, and members of our staff are also certified in Wilderness First Aid. We have an RN on site who handles day-to-day and minor health needs and a partnership with local emergency response teams if needed.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: CIT I (First Year Counselor in Training)
CIT's participate in all camp activities while also receiving training in leadership, camp traditions, outdoor skills, emergency procedures, etc. The CIT's have a chance to practice their leadership skills by planning special events for the younger campers.
CIT II (Second Year Counselor in Training)
CIT's are assigned to a unit of campers and function as "junior counselor" under the supervision and guidance of the Unit Leader and the CIT Director.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: We currently have camp scholarships, given by a private donor, for any girl living in Eddy County, NM.
Don't let lack of funding keep your girl from coming to camp. We often have other scholarships available. Please contact us for more information.
