Hilltop is a unique lodge situated in the center of Camp Brandenburg. The four bunkhouses of
Hilltop branch off from the main activity area of the lodge and up the side of the hill. Follow the
window-lined stairs up to one of our heated bunkhouses and enjoy views of the entire camp.
Each bunkhouse sleeps eight campers in addition to two cots in the main living area for leaders
or volunteers. The maximum occupancy for Hilltop is 34. Hilltop also contains a fully
equipped kitchen and two modern bathroom facilities.
Girl Scouts always leave a place better than they found it. You are responsible for any damage
to buildings/grounds that happen during or as a result of your stay.
