What a wonderful weekend we had this year at Spookamaga!
Approximately 2300 guests attended. The weather was perfect - not too hot, not too cold. There were a record number of volunteers who worked hard to contribute to another great event. We celebrated with a dance party in the Dining hall after all of the guests went home.

Thanks to all who worked and visited. We look forward to haunting you again next year.

Watch for more info about Spookamaga 2017.

Spookamaga 2016 will happen on Saturday, October 15 for visitors. Fright site hosts will be at camp Friday, Oct. 14 - Sunday, Oct. 16. The site registration forms are now available.  Your site is not reserved until Witch One gets the registration forms and payment, and approves it.  In the mean time, if you have a question please call Witch One (Linda Hudepohl) at 651-429-3083.

Please share information about Spookamaga with troop leaders who may be interested in visiting with a troop or bringing a troop to host a fright site.

Spookamaga is not only a fun event for Girl Scouts. It also benefits camp. Each year the Witches Crew uses some of the proceeds from Spookamaga to buy equipment or make repairs at Camp Lakamaga. This year waterfront equipment was purchased and outdoor lighting for the dining hall deck was purchased and installed.

BEWARE of ROAD CONSTRUCTION on the roads leading to Camp Spookamaga (Lakamaga).  Road work is on Hwy 61 between 210th Street and Scandia Trail N where MNDOT is building two roundabouts. Watch for possible detours due to road closures on the weekend. Check the MNDOT Road Construction website for updates.

An alternative route from the Twin Cities east metro area would be Hwy. 36 East to Manning Tr. (15).  Go North to Scandia Tr. (97) and turn right. Continue with usual directions to Camp Lakamaga.
Address: 12303 Lakamaga Trail N  Marine on St. Croix, MN 55047

The 2014 Host a Fright Site Registration form is now available. Go to the Host a Site page to download it.

Spookamaga 2014 is closer than you think. This is a special year - lucky 13! The witches crew expects the fright sites this year to be the best ever. Watch for the Host Site Registration forms to be posted soon. Get a head start by contacting Witch One to discuss your fright site ideas.

Spookamaga 2013 was a hoot! Even though the weather was not so great, over 1800 visitors came out to be haunted. And a happy group they were! The witches crew and all of the volunteers put on quite a show. Thanks to all.

We're excited! Are You? In just one week we'll be seeing everyone at Spookamaga. As on this date, 61 troops are plotting how they will haunt .... err, entertain everyone. We'll also  be using the new amphitheater and cabin for the first time. I can't wait!

Here are a few tips for visitors:

• Please bring one check to pay for your troop or group. This will make entry go smoother and quicker.
• If some members your group will arrive separately, be sure to tell everyone where to meet or use cell phones. It is not possible to locate people once you enter.
  
• For safety reason, no costumes please.
• All children must have adult supervision at all times. Consult Safety Wise for appropriate rations.
• Dress for the weather. This is a rain or shine event. Plan to be outside.

It's time to be thinking about Spookamaga 2013. Twenty-two troops are registered to host fright sites and there is always room for more. The record so far is 40 troops. We always like to set records.

We are still looking for a troop to take on the parking lot, the Welcome center, the maze and maybe even a carnival or something in Mary Randall. There is a new building which sleeps 20 and has enough room for a fright site.  It sits next to Thunderbird and even has a deck in the front.

Start planning your fright site and give Witch One (Linda) a call to discuss it. The Fright site registration form is available on the Host a Site page. Both fright site space and overnight space is available on a first-come, first-served basis so get your registration in early.

Contact Witch One: Phone - 651-429-3083  or email - lsjkt @ comcast.net  (Be sure to remove the extra spaces - we do this to avoid excess ghoul spam to the witches!)

Over 40 troops (a record number) created fright sites this year. Visitors were entertained in the thousands. Visit our Ghoul Scout Gallery page for photos of sites and visitors.
