Help GSNEO Build a Yurt!

Help us bring glamping to our Girl Scouts!

At Girl Scouts of North East Ohio, camp is our home away from home, which is why we’re excited about the opportunity to build a yurt! A new outdoor trend, a yurt is a form of glamour camping—having all the amenities of home while being immersed right in the middle of nature.

Yurts are made from sustainable and recyclable materials and are one of the most eco-friendly ways to connect with the outdoors. While most structures have a permanent foundation, yurts are built on a platform, leaving minimal impact on the surrounding environment.  Just like the Girl Scout way!

The yurt at our camp will be available for use year-round and will have all the amenities of a cabin: a kitchen, indoor bathrooms, heat for the winter, and an enclosed patio. With enough bunks to sleep 16, it’s the perfect way to glamp at Girl Scout camp.

With your support, construction for the new yurt will begin in the fall at Camp Timberlane. That means reservations will be available to troops for spring of 2016!

We need our Girl Scout sisters and friends to help us reach our goal of $24,000 to purchase the yurt kit by September 15.  Please contribute to make this unique opportunity possible for our girls.  We need all of our members and their families to help us get there!  To get the greatest reach, we need you to also share our GoFundMe link and our social media posts on Facebook and other social media sites.

Every gift of every size matters--even a gift of $1 helps! Any funds we raise over our goal will help pay for the construction of the yurt.

Thank you for helping us bring glamping to our girls in northeast Ohio!
