Camp Archbald
Archbald Road | Kingsley, PA 18826
Camp Archbald, located in Susquehanna County in the woods of Endless Mountains in northeastern Pennsylvania, is steeped in tradition and the echoes of girls who have been singing campfire songs and telling stories to keep those traditions alive year after year. The grounds include forests, fields and a spring-fed glacial lake.
Founded in 1920, Camp Archbald is the second oldest Girl Scout camp in the country! In the summer, overnight accommodations can house up to 205 people. In the winter, established units can accommodate 117 people. There is also space available for up to 500 people for daytime events. Details about available rental facilities are listed below.
