Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England's Camp Hoffman is one of the
oldest continuously operating Girl Scout camps in the country, and it
turned 100 in July 2021! There is something magical about camp, Camp
Hoffman in particular, as a place where girls and adults can come to
truly be themselves and where they are celebrated for being just who
they are. It is a safe place to fail, knowing we’ll be supported and
encouraged to try again. It is a place to step out of your comfort
zone and try new things. It is a place where we make friendships and
memories that last a lifetime.
We thank all who traveled
from near and far to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Camp Hoffman
for the Camp Hoffman Centennial Celebration on September 25, 2021—the
excitement and joy from all who participated was abundant. We had over
550 current and former Girl Scouts along with their friends and family
join us for a day of fun and celebration! A very special thank you to
the Camp Hoffman Centennial Committee for planning and leading this
momentous event, and thank you to everyone who volunteered their time
on the day of the event.

to enjoy outdoor experiences for years to come.

turned into a patch!
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Camp Hoffman, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England invited girls to submit a patch design for the centennial. There were many great entries, so the decision was not an easy one but the winning design was provided by Alli Paliotta! Congratulations, Alli! And thank you to all of the entrants who crafted such creative designs. It seems that “Linger” was the resounding winner for most popular song to be used as a theme—bravo, everyone! Though your design may not have been selected, we appreciate all of your hard work in submitting your designs to this competition.
The Camp Hoffman Centennial Patch is available for purchase exclusively at the GSSNE Shop in Warwick!
During the centennial year of Camp Hoffman, we held three exciting events to celebrate this historic anniversary. Thank you to everyone who attended these events!
