Diamonds Destination: Exploring the Ozarks: June 7–14, 2026

 

Girl Scouts Diamonds invites you to an unforgettable weeklong Destination through the breathtaking Ozark Mountains of Arkansas! 

 

About the Trip  

From June 7–14, 2026, Seniors and Ambassadors will experience nonstop adventure, scenic beauty, and meaningful connections on this action-packed journey through one of Arkansas’ most stunning regions.

Each day brings a new adventure, think ziplining through treetops in Eureka Springs, exploring the mysterious caves of Onyx Cavern, hiking to waterfalls like Kings River Falls and Lost Valley Trail, and scaling indoor rock walls for a boost of adrenaline and confidence. Between thrilling activities, girls will dive into arts and culture with visits to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, The Momentary, and Onyx Coffee Lab in Bentonville.

Camp Noark in Huntsville, Arkansas, will serve as our adventure headquarters, where girls will unwind, reflect, and build bonds each evening before launching the next day’s excursion. Midweek, the group will embark on an overnight getaway to the scenic River Wind Lodge, where they’ll explore Paige Falls and, if water levels permit, enjoy a float trip on the majestic Buffalo National River.

This Destination is more than a trip; it’s a full-circle experience of outdoor challenges, cultural discovery, and sisterhood. From trail to treetop, cave to coffeehouse, every moment is designed to build confidence, leadership, and lasting memories.

Seniors and Ambassadors, your Ozark adventure awaits. Come ready to explore, grow, and create stories you’ll tell for years to come.

Sports are limited—register today!
