MIQUON, Pa. April 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania (GSEP) is holding an Open House event this Sunday, May 3 at their Wood Haven campsite in Pine Grove, Pa., at the foot of the Blue Mountain in Schuylkill County. The time is 1 to 4 p.m. Families of all girls ages 6 to 18 are welcome to attend, talk to camp staff, tour the facility, and see why GSEP's summer camp is fun and economical. GSEP camps and camp programs are designed to give girls a meaningful link with nature, friends, and caring adults. The outcome is a fun-filled leadership development experience they can draw upon for life, while making life-long friendships.
