FRIENDS OF CAMP LITTLE NOTCH STORY

From 1939 to 2008, the Girl Scout council servicing the greater Albany, NY area owned and operated Camp Little Notch. During these years, CLN became a beloved place to countless girls and young women who experienced it as a special place to grow, make memories and have adventures. In 2008, the camp was closed by the Girl Scouts with intent to sell the property.

Upon learning of the impending sale, Friends of Camp Little Notch was formed by an energetic group of former campers and staff in 2010. This group successfully conserved the property through a relationship with the Open Space Institute and the property was reopened for summer camp and rentals in 2012. By January 2015, Friends of Camp Little Notch raised enough money to purchase the property from Open Space Institute and now fully owns the Camp Little Notch property, ensuring that countless more people can experience all it has to offer.
