What Camp Juliette Low Inc does

Camp Juliette Low (CJL) is a private, non-profit residential summer camp operating on Lookout Mountain in Cloudland, Georgia, serving girls ages 8 to 17. Founded in 1922 and named after Juliette Gordon Low — founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, who personally selected the camp site — CJL delivers one-week and two-week outdoor residential programs designed to build leadership, confidence, and self-reliance. The camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, operates with a stated 1:4 staff-to-camper ratio, and provides CPR-certified staff with mandatory pre-camp training.

The camp's product portfolio centers on its core summer session offerings, supplemented by a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program for older campers, a Parent-Daughter Weekend in early May, an annual Alumnae Reunion Weekend in early June, and seasonal Work Weekends that mobilize volunteers for camp preparation. Activities span horseback riding, water sports (sailing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding), archery, a challenge course, a climbing wall, crafts, and traditional camp experiences. Operationally, CJL runs a seasonal summer office at the Cloudland camp site and maintains a year-round business office in Marietta, GA.

Commercially, CJL is a direct-to-consumer operation; families register campers through the CampInTouch online platform linked from cjl.org. Revenue is generated primarily through session-based tuition — a $150 non-refundable deposit per camper per session with the balance due May 1 — plus ancillary fees such as a $25/week gluten-free accommodation charge and Trading Post account deposits. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit governed by a Board of Trustees, the organization supplements tuition with donations from its alumnae network. No parent company, venture or private equity backing, acquisitions, or other corporate structural changes are indicated in the available data.
