Supporting outdoor experiences for girls for generations to come

Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England has established Endowment Funds for Camp Hoffman in West Kingston, RI and Camp Rocky Farm in Newport, RI! All dollars contributed will be invested and the earnings from those dollars will be used to support ongoing maintenance and operational needs.

Endowment Fund for Camp Hoffman

Camp Hoffman is one of the oldest Girl Scout camps in the country and we're so proud of its long history, unique traditions, and deep magic. The GSSNE Endowment Fund for Camp Hoffman was created at the 95th anniversary celebration. In the summer of 2021, Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England will be celebrating the 100th Birthday of Camp Hoffman! The endowment will support the longevity of this special Girl Scout camp, ensuring the opportunity for all girls to enjoy outdoor experiences for years to come.

Endowment Fund for Camp Rocky Farm

Camp Rocky Farm in Newport, RI was founded in 1950. This 7-acre property is right by the beach and is within walking distance of Ocean Drive and the Newport Mansions. At nearby Gooseberry Beach, campers build sandcastles, hunt for hermit crabs, and enjoying swimming. The Endowment Fund for Camp Rocky Farm was created in 2019 to allow girls to continue to enjoy the nature and history of the area.
