Camp Life
is the
Best Life!
Remember that summer feeling – the feeling
of freedom, excitement and possibilities that
pack every moment with something fun? You
were in charge of your adventure, and it was
awesome.
This summer, let Girl Scouts be the gateway to
that summer feeling for your girl. She’ll discover
exciting activities with brand new friends. She’ll
challenge her limits in a safe environment, with
supportive adults by her side. You’ll be amazed at the
skills and confidence she brings home. Summer is waiting at our two resident camp
locations: Comstock near Ithaca, and Trefoil in Harrisville.
Whether it’s hiking, horses, or water sports she loves, Girl Scouts of NYPENN
Pathways has just the camp session for your girl! Turn the page to see the details
about the sessions offered this summer.
No matter what program she chooses, your girl will enjoy swimming, boating, crafts,
nature and more. She’ll practice being a leader, sing around the campfire, and make
lifelong memories with new friends!
Badge Work
Some camps offer an opportunity to work on specific skill badges that relate to the
program of choice. Session descriptions state which badges they are. At the end of
the week you will be provided with an information sheet showing which parts of the
badge your girl completed while at camp.
We Want Every Girl to Attend Camp
Don’t let finances stop your girl from this summer experience. An application for
financial assistance can be found on our website. Complete this form ALONG WITH
the registration form. If you are requesting assistance, note your program of choice
online, and make a $10 deposit to hold your reservation.
If you are not currently a Girl Scout member, we welcome you to camp as well! Please
contact our customer service team at 800.943.4414 to get a camp registration form.
Our Camps are Accredited
Comstock and Trefoil are accredited by the American Camp Association. This means
that we have met over 300 health and safety standards established by experts in
the camping industry. As part of maintaining our accreditation, we are requiring all
campers to have a current physical within one year of the date attending camp. If
your daughter had a physical for school this may be used for camp as well. Please
contact me if you have any questions.
Summer memories and friendships that last a lifetime begin
here! Visit to register now! Our sessions fill quickly!
