You have to see it to believe it.

The rustic old Girl Scout camp in the northwest corner of Scott County has quietly evolved into what can only be described as a showplace.

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write: The lodge, accommodations and grounds at the former Camp Conestoga, now Camp Liberty, are an ideal setting for a wedding, reception and overnight stay.

No, seriously.

The only snag is that the revamped camp will be available exclusively to Girl Scouts (as it should be) from June to August. And those little campers, hikers and horseback riders will have it made.

If the killer sound system, stacked stone fireplace and panoramic views from the new lodge don't sufficiently strike envy in the hearts of every non-girl, plenty of the other offerings will.

How about a zip-line ride from a 40-foot-high stand in the woods to the dining hall, 400 feet away? Or a horseback ride along the prairie grasses that are as pristine as they were when primitive living was more than a Girl Scout adventure. And don't worry about the weather. The new indoor riding arena will do away with the formerly inevitable disappointment of riding day being doomed by rain.
