Camp Cahinnio is nestled on nearly 400 acres of beautiful woodlands near Boonevillle in West Central Arkansas. Once a farmer's homestead and, earlier, the hunting grounds of the Cahinnio branch of the Caddo tribe, the camp brings you back in time with its peaceful setting, tucked away in the woods where deer and bunnies abound. Located on the camp's grounds are a private 23 acre lake, swimming pool with modern shower house that also serves as a storm shelter, archery range, extensive hiking trails, air-conditioned dining hall, and four separate living units for campers.
Accommodations: Brownies stay in the BA Unit, a horseshoe of cabins with the counselor cabin tucked in the center and a bathhouse with hot showers and flush toilets. Juniors stay either in the BA Unit or the Tipi Unit, a fun "next step" in their camping adventures with "platform tents" which are permanent structures with canvas walls and roof and a wood floor. A bathhouse with hot showers and flush toilets is a short walk from Tipi. Older campers stay in Outpost, a primitive tent unit where girls pitch their own two-person tents (provided) and canoe or hike to the main camp for daily activities. Cahinnio Leadership Camers stay in the popular "tree houses".

Camp High Point is perched high in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains on 163 acres near Mena in West Central Arkansas. With a rich history of tradition and a delightful, natural site to share with new and veteran Girl Scout campers, CampHigh Point has been opening its gates every summer since 1945. Complete with tree houses and a butterfly garden, the camp boasts a Junior Olympic size swimming pool, a storm shelter which doubles as a large indoor activity space, dining hall, and five living units for campers.
Accommodations: Cabins built of stone and wood make up the living units, with names such as "Rocky Mound", "Echo Pines", "Blue Bird", and "Tall Timbers," reflecting the natural setting. Each unit has a counselor-cabin nestled among the camper cabins, and each of these units has a pavilion and a bathhouse with showers and flush toilets. A more primitive unit, "Indian Bend" does not have a bathhouse or pavilion.
