Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois announced that it has canceled in-person summer camp programs for the rest of the camping season because of COVID-19, including Camp Dean in Big Rock, Camp McCormick in Stillman Valley and Camp Far Horizons in Hanover.
“The health and safety of girls is always the first priority in Girl Scouts,” the organization said in a news release.
