Shadow Lake is the main attraction at Camp Agnes Arnold, located near Conroe. The lake offers 35 acres of cool, refreshing fun for campers. Girls may enjoy canoeing, swimming, nature fun and fishing on Shadow Lake

The legends of the Magic Elf and Hipper entertain and delight the imaginations of all campers. In addition to the focus of the session, campers also participate in traditional camp activities, such as swimming, making crafts, going on hikes, hanging out, archery, playing games and making new friends.

Campers will stay in platform tents, tree houses or cabins in units of 24-36 girls each. Girls eat most of their meals in the air-conditioned Ann Temple Allen Lodge which has a beautiful view of Shadow Lake. Near the lodge, the climate-controlled crafts rooms and library also offer an escape from the summer heat.

Every effort is made to follow these session designs as closely as described. Weather or unexpected

factors may alter activities.

Hipper

Camp Agnes Arnold

My name is Hipper and I live at Camp Agnes Arnold!

My home is Shadow Lake where I spend most of my time. It’s perfect for keeping

cool on those hot summer days! You probably won’t see me during your visit

because I like to keep to myself, but I always like to hear stories about the fun experiences that girls are having at camp. You’ll eat in the

Dining Hall, but I prefer to graze on grass to satisfy my tummy. My favorite camp

activities are, of course, activities on the water!
