Multipurpose room for Girl Scout sleepover event?
Hi BPN community,
I'm a troop leader for girl scouts in oakland and we are trying to figure out where to hold a sleepover nearby. Nearby would involve Berkeley or Oakland. Please let me know if you know of who to reach out to. We are a new troop and do not have a lot of funds, so it would need to be low-cost or donated for our event. I'm happy to share more about the troop and what we are seeking to do.
Thank you so much!

I've heard that the Ida Smith Girl Scout facility in SF (near Sunset / zoo) is a good place and is about $98 for an overnight. I've not been there myself, but I've heard that they have a full kitchen and indoor facilities, but that you can also camp outside. Really depends what you are trying to do; a fun event is different from just a place to hold a planning meeting. I did an overnight with my troop at my friend's house who was out of town, and girls slept on hardwood floor. Have also done backyard camping and church floor camping. GS official programs also have some good events; we did the Snoopy museum in santa rosa overnight and it wasn't that expensive.
Not much farther away--Twin Canyon Camp in Lafayette is a Girl Scout property available with a place to sleep indoors that you may want to consider. https://www.gsnorcal.org/en/rental-properties/properties/twin-canyon.ht…
Have fun!
