EXPLORE MORE ADVENTURE at Girl Scout Camp Why choose Girl Scout camp?

Girl Scout camp creates a lasting impact. Girl Scouts will remember the big moments - trying new things (like being away from home for the first time), leaving their comfort zone behind with our friendly and supportive camp staff cheering them on, and forging lifelong friendships. They will reflect on the small moments, too, like learning to appreciate the serenity of nature, loud laughs (the ones that come from your belly), and the tune of a familiar campfire song. At Girl Scouts, we’ve been creating amazing outdoor experiences for girls for over 100 years, so you can rest easy knowing we have your Girl Scout’s back as embraces the spirit of exploration.

84%

of girls surveyed agreed with the statement “I have done outdoor activities through Girl Scouts that I would not have done otherwise.”

68%

of girls surveyed agreed with the statement “Doing outdoor activities in Girl Scouts has helped me overcome at least one fear.”

How to Register for Camp

Camp registration for 2026 opens December 17th at 7AM at www.gscb.org. To secure your spot, you will complete a short registration wherein you will indicate your date and theme preferences, and then pay the $50.00 non-refundable deposit (even for families applying for Financial Assistance). Once basic registration is complete, you will be prompted to complete the medical and health history portion. The medical and health history portion MUST be completed minimum TWO WEEKS prior to your camp week.

To help your registration go smoothly, we recommend keeping the following handy: • • • • •

Camp Financial Assistance and Using Cookie Dough Finances should never stand in the way of a Girl Scout experiencing camp. Access the Financial Assistance application during the registration process. The $50.00 deposit will still be required. If the deposit is a financial burden, contact Customer Care. Note that when awarded, Financial Assistance may not cover the entire camp fee.

Other ways to save: Use your Cookie Dough towards camp fees! Complete the GSCB Program Credit Redemption Request Form to apply credits. You will still need to pay the $50.00 deposit during registration.

Overnight Camp Expectations We have found that Girl Scouts are sometimes unaware of the reality of spending a week at camp. New experiences can be challenging at first, but most campers adapt quickly.

Check in with yourself or your Girl Scout before signing up: • Are you comfortable spending a week away from home without regular contact from caregivers?

• Can you handle being around wildlife, including bugs and insects (within reason)?

• Can you sleep or go long periods of time without air conditioning?

• If you are able, are you willing to walk from activity to activity?

• Can you be responsible for your own things?

• Are you open to trying new foods?

Camp Trading Post The camp trading post is a beloved camp tradition! One day a week, the trading post will be open during lunch and free time. If your camper is interested in shopping at the trading post, please bring a small amount of cash ($30 or less) to check in. Camp staff will hold each camper’s cash in an envelope that will be returned to you during pick up with any change and receipts.

Overnight Camp

At overnight camp, Girl Scouts experience independence in our safe and supportive camp environment. Their week at camp is centered on outdoor skills progression, nature exploration, and most importantly - FUN - with friends new and old.
