This summer, bring her somewhere safe, enriching, and most
importantly, full of nonstop FUN!
She shouldn’t have to choose between
STEM and fashion, archery and fishing,
crafts and climbing. We know that girls
have a wide variety of interests, and at
Girl Scout camp, they get
to try a little bit of
everything.
Throughout their camp
experience girls are
encouraged to make
positive choices, think
outside the box, develop trust in themselves and others, and
work as part of a functional team.

Top FIVE Reasons to Choose GS Camp
That Family Feeling! There’s nothing better than the feeling of community when
a bunch of positive and friendly individuals come together to have fun. Girl Scout
camp fosters healthy relationships and creates lifelong friendships.
Safety. Safety. Safety! Did you know that Girl Scout safety standards are stricter
than the Department of Health? At Girl Scout camp, we have higher adult to girl
ratios, well-trained staff, and stringent safety policies insuring that no matter how
much fun she’s having, it’ll be in the safest way possible. All three of our camps are
American Camp Association (ACA) accredited.
Girl Led. Girl Choice! We want girls to have a voice. And that includes
helping decide the week’s activities. At Girl Scout camp, campers help make
decisions that affect the group, and are given a chance to
help plan the week – so it’s all about them, and doing what
makes them happiest.
Outdoor Focus! It’s so easy to get caught in the hustle of
everyday life, girls need a chance to reconnect with the
outdoors – look at the stars, tell stories around the campfire,
wade through streams to see what lives there, run through
open fields. Being outdoors and free to explore is a quintessential part of childhood.
Postive Role Models! When we ask campers and parents
to share their favorite aspects of Girl Scout camp, our staff
always makes the list. Our counselors not only make camp
fun and exciting, but inspire the next generation of girls.
Did you know? You can sign up for camp even if you
are not a Girl Scout yet! Register now and let camp
be your first GS experience!
