Transform Girl Scout Camp
By Chris Faircloth
Photos by Myra Ray
Mature beech trees stand as stately sentinels, their smooth
bark carved with the initials of girls who camped, danced
and played among them during long-ago retreats on the
wooded, rocky land that is now quiet and serene. The
stillness is broken only by the occasional barking of dogs
and the babble of the Haw Creek as it winds its way through
the woods. These charming carvings done decades ago by
adolescent girls, a stone chimney and a few outbuildings
are all that remain of what once was a lively Girl Scout
camp nestled in the woods along the banks of the Haw Creek
in southern Alamance County...
