at Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Friday, Oct. 18 - Sunday, Oct. 20, 2024
Have you missed going to summer camp since your girlhood days? Or perhaps you’ve always heard how awesome camp is but have never had the chance to go. If you are an adult woman and you want to have a magical camp experience for the first or even 14th time, then Glamp Pin Oak is for you! Combining “glam” and “camp,” Glamp Pin Oak is a unique opportunity for women to experience the outdoors and learn to be safe, confident and comfortable in an outdoor environment. All sessions are taught by women and created for women and provide the opportunity to learn by doing.
Camp Activities:
Archery and Atlatl (Low-Moderate*)
Archery is a time-honored sport that is growing in popularity. It is not only good fun but good exercise – and now you can learn how it’s done. Have you ever heard of throwing with an atlatl? Well, participants are going to get the opportunity to learn and explore the technique behind this historic hunting weapon. This course will cover archery and atlatl safety, ethics, shooting and throwing techniques, and equipment selection. Participants will receive personal instruction and adequate time to practice what they learn.
Needle Felting (Low*)
Needle felting is the art of using special barbed needles to shape wool into sculptures. Not only will you learn some basic needle felting techniques, but you will also get to make your very own nature sculpture to take home.
Kayaking (Moderate/High*)
Learn the basics of flat-water kayaking, including areas such as equipment, entry and exit, strokes, safety, water, and wind. By the end of the class, you’ll feel more comfortable on the water, better understand the safety risks around you, and have more fun! Participants will have time to practice and explore.
Basic Painting (Low*)
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at painting something beautiful with an outdoor theme? If so, this is the session for you. All materials and instruction will be provided. Don't worry, as our instructors will guide the most inexperienced painter through the process.
Optional Activities:
Group Card Games (Low*)
Have you ever wanted to learn or maybe teach others how to play card games such as poker, pitch, crazy 8's or the like? Join us on Saturday evening for some good old-fashioned friendly competition. Decks of cards and other supplies will be provided, but if you have a game to share, please feel free to bring it along.
Location
Glamp Pin Oak will take place at the historic Camp Pin Oak at Lake of the Ozarks State Park. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, Camp Pin Oak has been the site for generations of gatherings by nonprofit youth groups such as Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. Campfire sing-alongs, new friends and outdoor adventures have made the camp a lasting memory for youth of all ages. Directions and a map will be sent with the confirmation packet.
Accommodations
Glamp Pin Oak offers participants the chance to sleep in a four-person rustic screened cabin. Participants sleeping in the rustic cabins will have single beds, mattresses, and storage for personal belongings. Please note that the rustic screened cabins do not offer heating or air conditioning. If you are attending Glamp Pin Oak with a friend, just let us know. Our online registration form includes a field for cabin mate requests. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
*If you are registering with fewer than four people in your group, there is a chance that you will share a cabin with someone not in your group.
Showers and restrooms are available on-site.
