With almost 30 specialty sessions throughout the summer, campers discover exciting activities that challenge their limits, build their confidence, and further their leadership skills. Girl Scout camp provides a magical place where girls try new things in a safe environment that celebrates the process as much as the outcome.
Whether it's riding on horseback, swimming, paddling, crafting, or STEM…girls will find that their next adventure is just around the corner!
Under the guidance of our highly-trained staff, girls will experience an unforgettable summer- having fun and making memories that last a lifetime! Whether away for two, five, or twelve nights, girls will gain a stronger sense of self, make new friends, develop social skills, practice teamwork, build interest in the natural world, and use creativity for projects and problem-solving.
What girls learn at Girl Scout camp lasts far beyond their camp experience! In a study conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute in 2019, Camp Alum attributed their responsibility, appreciation for diversity, ability to preserve, and willingness to try new things as the most important skills used in their daily lives today that they primarily learned at camp.
This finding suggests the camp experience is distinct from other learning environments, such as home and school, and can help youth build important skills that serve them in many areas of their lives. Notably, Girl Scout camp alums are more likely than non-Girl Scout camp alums to attribute the learning of these life skills and characteristics to camp.
