Camp | Girl Scouts

You’re a force of nature, Girl Scout

And you are ready for more outdoor adventures.

Whether you’re discovering the wildlife in your own backyard, swimming in a lake for the first time at summer camp, or being a citizen scientist and observing bees in your neighborhood park, every outdoor adventure grows your “I’ve got this” attitude. And once you unlock that confidence, you’ll aim as high as the stars you see outside your cabin window.

Camp & Technology toggle arrow

Camp is a world away (from technology, that is).

Camp is intentionally technology-free to create an environment where campers can fully immerse themselves in the wonders of nature and build lasting connections with their fellow campers. This break from screens fosters social interaction, encourages physical activity, and allows campers to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the simplicity and richness of the great outdoors. Campers are not allowed to bring phones, tablets, smartwatches, headphones, or similar devices. We know it’s tough. Releasing your camper into the wild (and our expert care) is new for some folks, but know your camper is safe and having a great time.

Financial Assistance toggle arrow

Financial Assistance is available to make Girl Scout camp a reality for as many campers as possible. These funds are limited, and any investment you make in your camper’s experience will allow us to serve more families. On average, families who utilize financial assistance use it for around 50% of their camp expenses. The minimum deposit is required to secure your spot for each session. If you cannot afford the deposit, call us.

Camperships toggle arrow

Every Girl Scout deserves to experience camp, but many families struggle to pay for camp. That’s where you come in! Give the gift of camp. Whether $10 or $1,000, your campership investment makes camp dreams a reality. Thank you for making Girl Scout summer adventures happen!
