Let’s Start Her Adventure Today! Dear Girl Scout Family, Whether you and your Girl Scout are just beginning to explore all that Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta (GSGATL) has to offer, or you’re practically an expert when it comes to the great outdoors, you know about the life-changing, memory-making awesomeness that is camp. Girls need a safe place where they can unplug and just be themselves, a space with an incredible view where they can relax and try new experiences. That place is Girl Scout Camp! Whether she joins us for day camp or sleepaway camp, each outdoor experience is packed full of Girl Scout tradition and exciting activities, from art and music to high adventure and STEM. There’s something waiting for every girl at camp next summer! When your camper attends one of our American Camp Association accredited camps, they join over 100 years where Girl Scouts have found lasting friendships, discovered their strengths, challenged themselves, made life-long memories, and returned home with an allnew love for adventure. When you send your Girl Scout to camp, you’ll be amazed at what a little time outdoors does to develop courage and the confidence that follows, to the classroom, the boardroom and beyond. Our team is dedicated to engaging every single member of the GSGATL family in the experience of camp, and we’d love to welcome your Girl Scout to our camping sisterhood!
Yours in Girl Scouting,
Amy S. Dosik Chief Executive Officer

Is My Girl Scout Ready for Sleepaway Camp? We are so appreciative when families and girls ask this question. We share your desire to find the best camp experience possible, and for this reason, we offer a rich progression of sessions. You can choose from a variety of options such as day camp, day camp with overnight options, traditional week-long and multi-week overnight sessions.
Girl Scout Camp Has Something for Every Level of Readiness! Although age plays a big role in determining a camper’s readiness for sleepaway camp, maturity and openness to a new adventure are also important. We suggest reviewing and discussing the following list of skills and abilities with your Girl Scout to decide what is best for her. I can ask for help when needed. I can follow directions in a group setting. I’m excited to make new friends. I’m comfortable being outdoors in nature. I have been away from home overnight. I can take a shower and brush my teeth by myself. I can keeping track of my personal belongings. I know how to use my camp equipment (i.e. water bottle, sunscreen, etc.). If you and your camper decide she’s not ready for a full week of sleepaway camp, consider the day camp sessions with an optional overnight experience at Camp Timber Ridge. We know that by sharing your camper with us, you are placing the utmost trust in our ability to take good care of her. That’s a responsibility we take seriously—and it’s why we remain dedicated to helping prepare girls, and families, for an unforgettable summer experience with Girl Scouts.

Why Camp Rocks Our camps spark confidence & joy. We call it “camp magic.” When a girl leaves home and enters the world of camp, she meets new friends and peers on even ground. As she sits around the campfire, rides a horse, tries ziplining, paddleboarding, or canoeing for the first time, something in her begins to change—she gains a sense of pride by facing new challenges. She grows by learning new skills and becomes stronger and happier by making new friends. She comes home with a spring in her step and a new light in her eyes. She starts to lead. Camp is transformative. Our trained and caring staff members support girls ages 5-17 in discovering who they are and who they can become. Our engaging programs and activities are designed with girls’ interests in mind so they can grow their passions and take healthy risks in a safe, supportive environment. At Girl Scout Camp, we expect everyone to respect and treat each other with dignity, honesty and compassion at all times.

Visit girlscoutsummer.com to learn more about our camp properties and how to prepare for camp!
Did You Know? 1) Camp is awesome! Girls with frequent outdoor experiences are more likely to seek challenges and are better at solving problems—qualities that will help them both academically and personally in the future. 2) Camp gives her cool new experiences! Seventy-two percent of girls surveyed said that Girl Scouts gave them the chance to build their skills or try new outdoor activities.
6
You don’t have to be a part of a Girl Scout troop to come to summer camp!* *Lapsed and non-members will need to become a registered Girl Scout. Membership is $25 and can be added to your summer camp fee during registration.
3) Camp makes everything better! Spending time in nature improves concentration and creative reasoning. Outdoor experiences also help promote healthy social development and increase self-esteem.
Leadership in the Outdoors Girls dive into a whole new world of activities at Girl Scout Camp—swimming freely in lakes, working together to steer a canoe, practicing the perfect shot in archery, exploring nature during an afternoon hike, learning to cook over a fire, and cheering on friends as they challenge themselves to try new things. Girls also strengthen their skills and grow their passion for environmental stewardship through our outdoor leadership programming.
When a girl goes to camp… She will develop confidence in herself and her abilities. She will form positive identities and act ethically, honestly, and responsibly by showing concern for others. She will express a love of nature by showing an interest in the natural world. She will pursue activities that allow her to spend time in the outdoors. She will be willing to take on new challenges in the outdoors and believe in her ability to learn and succeed in these endeavors. She will know how to prepare for and stay safe during outdoor activities, as well as learn how to minimize her impact on the environment. She will recognize the importance of environmental conservation by understanding how her behaviors have an impact, enabling her to take actions to help protect the natural world. She will develop leadership skills and practice leadership.
What’s in Store at Camp Every day at camp truly is a new adventure. No two days are ever the same. Whether you join us for a Classic Camp session or a specialty program, all campers enjoy traditional camp activities like swimming, canoeing, outdoor skills, arts and crafts, and much more! Camp is made extra special with wacky dress up days, singing, skits, and themed all-camp activities. Whatever the adventure holds, everyone is sure to have a great time at Girl Scout Camp.
