Glamp Pin Oak

at Lake of the Ozarks State Park

Friday, Sept. 27-Sunday, Sept. 29

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 the outdoor environment. All sessions are taught by women and created for women and provide the opportunity to learn by doing. 

Camp Activities:

Kayaking (Moderate/High)

Learn the basics of flatwater 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.

Archery (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. This course will cover archery safety, ethics, shooting techniques and equipment selection. Participants will receive personal instruction and adequate time to practice what they learn.

Outdoor Gear (Low)

In this course, we will discuss what gear you will need for various outdoor activities – including hiking, backpacking and camping – and what things you should leave at home. Examples of outdoor gear will be on display.

Outdoor DIY Hacks (Low)

Learn how you can enhance your next outdoor experience at this DIY outdoor hacks class. Participants will make items that can help them overcome and avoid obstacles that may be encountered in the outdoors.

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 made the camp a lasting memory for youth of all ages. Directions and 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 heat 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.

Additionally, you will park your car away from camp activities, and it will remain parked for the event.

To help participants anticipate each course and know what physical levels to expect of each class, a physical activity rating system has been created. Listed in the class description you will find a physical level rating for each course.

  • Low: Requires minimal physical skill/endurance. Example: lecture-based and hands-on activities in a classroom setting.
  • Moderate: Requires moderate physical skill/endurance. Example: lecture-based and hands-on activities while standing and short walks.
  • High: Requires high levels of skill/endurance. Example: lecture-based and hands-on activities while standing, hiking, lifting and full-body movement.
