Help More Girls Have Fun at Summer Camp!

Attending camp is often a highlight of the summer for girls and their families. As one mom recently shared, “Our daughter has tried out a smorgasbord of camps this summer and based on her reaction I can tell that Camp Greene Wood blew them all away. Every day she came home and had so much awesomeness to talk about. Her friends, her counselors, the games, the songs, you name it! Your team made magic all week for your campers, especially mine!”

Families continue to face increasing costs for their basic needs and having enough money for camp is not always possible. Rising costs have also impacted our camp operations and pricing structure. Our goal is to keep camp accessible to all girls. We do not want any family’s financial situation to be a barrier to a girl attending camp or enjoying it to the fullest.

We provide financial assistance to any family that requests it, and the Landgraf Family Foundation has generously established a campership fund that provides full and partial camp scholarships in addition to what the council is able to budget.

We have seen a 52% increase in requests for financial assistance this year. Families need our support to make camp part of their child’s summer experience.

Will you support a girl’s camping adventure?

Summer camp can be more than outdoor adventures and camp songs for a girl. It is the place where a girl can discover something new about herself. It can be a place where a girl conquers her fears, embraces new experiences, and grows her courage, confidence, and character.

This Girl Scout’s experience, shared by her parents, sums up the value of GCNWI summer camp:

“As our final week of camp wraps up, I don’t know how to begin to thank you all. We have watched our daughter beam in confidence this summer in endless ways. We are so grateful for the amazing camp experience that you all work so hard to create!! ”

YOU can make camp experiences possible for girls this summer and next.
