Congresswoman Susan Wild, D-7th, and state Rep. Peter Schweyer, D-22nd, recently visited the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Mountain House Day Camp in Salisbury Township.
The Aug. 5 visit included a tour of the secluded 15-acre campus which dates back to the 1940s.
Mountain House is one of six operated by GSEP, the ninth largest council in the organization and hosts girls from kindergarten through high school.
Some of the most popular activities at the site include archery, crafts, the GaGa pit - a gentle form of kickball, a Slip ’n’ Slide and walking trails.
