Camp Tanglefoot - Girl Scout Camp - Clear Lake, Iowa
Tanglefoot Girl Scout Camp in Clear Lake, Iowa
With over 3000 Girl Scouts attending camp each summer whether it is for a one night experience or as long as 18 days, the influence of camp will be a building experience for years to come.
Non-Girl Scouts and parents and families are also welcome at the camp.
Camp Tanglefoot has recently completed an extensive renovation plan, and invested more than $600,000 in new cabins, showers, maintenance shop, game court, outdoor shelter, and the unique, two-level year-round program chalet, the "Oaks". Popular activities include swimming, sailing instruction, canoeing, arts, music, bicycling, theme events, environmental projects, no-trace camping skills, an obstacle course and high ropes challenge course, and the "Leaders in Training" project for older girls.
The camp employs 30 specially trained and certified summer staff. Special programs are developed for the campers. The camp is an accredited member of the American Camping Association, and operates under the guidelines of GSUSA, the Red Cross, U.S. Sailing Association, American Canoeing Association, and The Association of Challenge Course technology.
From September to May, the camp buildings are available on a limited rental basis for meetings, seminars and retreats. The grounds are available for hiking, nature study and cross-country-skiing.

Good evening Patty,
Since I don’t know where you are coming from to get to the camp I suggest that you go to http://www.randmcnalley.com and get an online map. I use that all the time and think it is the best out there. It will direct you to the camp, just take the address off the article and you should be good to go!
Thank you for contacting us, good luck!

Camp Tanglefoot is the most beautiful, magical place I have ever been, steeping girls of all ages in music, traditions and love, and I believe it will continue to teach and grow for many years. Thank you to Shannon and the amazing staff for a remarkable experience for my daughter.
