The 135 acre wooded land across from the Macy Center in New York, was donated to Girl Scouts in memory of Andree Clark, by her parents Senator William and Mrs. Clark in 1920. The site was used to develop new programs for Senior Girl Scouts.
 
 In 1937, the Silver Jubilee was held there. Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from all around the world attended. A special pin was designed for the event - shown below.
 For awhile the camp was used as a council camp, but in 1979 it once again became a national Girl Scout site. Adults and girls from all over attend programs at
Camp Andree Clark.
