Brownie Design with Nature Camp - Oahu
January 24th- 25th, 2026
Camp Paumalu 96712, Haleiwa
Camp Theme will be Nature!
Spend a weekend designing with the best inspiration of all-nature! In this Girl Scout Brownie camp, girls will observe patterns, textures, and "engineering" in the outdoors, then use what they discover to plan and create their own nature-inspired designs. Brownies will work in small teams to brainstorm ideas, sketch plans, build prototypes, and test them against real-world challenges like wind, rain, shade, strength, and usability-just like real designers and engineers.
Over the course of camp, girls will:
-
Explore nature through a guided discovery hike and observation activities
-
Create art and patterns based on natural textures and shapes
-
Design and build a mini shelter and a useful camp tool inspired by nature
-
Test, improve, and redesign their projects using the Girl Scout design process
-
Share their creations during a fun "Design with Nature Expo" showcase
All activities are designed to help participants earn the Brownie Design with Nature Badge by the end of the weekend.
Adults who register to attend agree to be Chaperones
and must complete a background check prior to camp. Please review our
chaperone agreement form prior to
registration. Adults will be randomly assigned to a group. Please be
prepared to NOT be paired with your daughter's group. In order to
assure maximum space for girl participation, adult chaperone spots are
limited to the first 8.
BYO Lunch: Provide your own sack lunch on Saturday. Snack will be provided. If overnighting, Dinner & Breakfast will be served.

Group / Sleeping Arrangements
One of the wonderful opportunities in going to camp is meeting
girls/leaders from other troops and sharing new experiences. Your
daughter will be randomly placed into a group. Troops should not
expect to stay as a troop/unit for all activities. Girls will sleep in
their own cabins. Girls and an adult chaperone will sleep in the same
unit but not in the same cabin.
