Making Memories that Last a Lifetime Girl Scout camp is the perfect place for campers to explore their interests, try new experiences, and grow into confident leaders. Along the way, they’ll have a blast, make amazing new friends, and create memories that last a lifetime! Every camp session is unique. Campers take the lead in their experience while receiving guidance and support from professional, trained camp staff. You can learn more about each camp and meet our camp directors at gsema.org/camp.

Camp Life Campers are placed in small, supportive groups of 4–24, with 2–5 staff per group. Overnight campers stay in yurts, tent-a-los, or platform tents, with cots or mattresses provided. Each camp offers shelter for rainy-day activities, bathroom facilities, storage, and a health center. Photos of sleeping structures are available in the Property Guide.

Getting to camp is easy!

Bus transportation is available for our day camps and is included in the cost. Bus stop locations and times are included in this guide. To register for bus transportation, complete the Day Camp Transportation Form, in your CampInTouch account by May 1, 2026. Pick-up procedures are on the page 11.

Girl Scout-led. Girl Scout-tested.

Girl Scout-approved.

A community where every camper belongs.

At Girl Scout camp, campers explore new experiences, try new skills, and grow with confidence in a safe, supportive environment.

Our programs encourage curiosity, celebrate each camper’s unique strengths, and help them build courage, confidence, and character.

Campers find courage within themselves to meet new people, make friends, and grow together. It’s a safe and inclusive space where they learn responsibility, teamwork, resilience, and leadership—while being valued for who they are.

With a wide range of programs, campers can sample classic camp activities or focus on a skill or interest they want to develop. Summers at camp can be filled with boating, swimming, nature exploration, hiking, biking, science, arts and crafts, performing arts, campfires, cooking, high ropes challenges, day trips, overnight adventures, and more!

A team committed to campers’ growth.

A choice of where, when, and how to camp.

From the most trusted name in girl leadership.

Choose the experience that fits you: white sandy shores or green hills, relaxing days or challenging adventures, day camp or overnight stays. Join us for a few days or the whole summer—come on your own, with a buddy, or make new friends to last a lifetime.

Girl Scout campers have been making summer memories for nearly a century in eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire. All camps are American Camp Association accredited and meet state and local licensing requirements.

Our staff are highly trained role models from around the world, ready to share skills, guidance, and fun. Many return year after year to help campers create new memories, always living the values of Girl Scouting.

Not a Girl Scout yet? No problem! Prior membership is not required. Any girl is welcome to join the adventure.

Getting Ready for Camp Getting ready for summer camp is about more than packing; it’s about stepping into a summer of growth, confidence-building, and connection Camp brings together children from many backgrounds, giving them the chance to learn from one another, discover new strengths, and practice empathy in a supportive community. Through engaging activities, diverse role models, and guided challenges, campers build resilience, develop leadership skills, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others. This preparation sets the stage for a summer filled with joy, friendship, and meaningful self-discovery.

Take the Camper Readiness Quiz on page 8 to the best camp fit for you and your child.

Camp SWAG and Supplies Purchasing official merchandise not only shows Girl Scout pride, it also supports the Girl Scout Movement, funds outdoor programs, and contributes to our campership fund.

Camper families can shop for fun items in several ways: • CampInTouch: Select items during registration.

• Camp Trading Posts: Little shops at each camp where campers can pick up souvenirs and small items.

• GSEMA Retail Shop & Online Store: Visit us in Waltham or shop anytime online.

Camp-specific T-shirts and sweatshirts must be preordered through your CampInTouch account by May 1, 2026 to ensure the correct size is available for your camper. (Youth sizes are available only through preorder.)

Getting Ready for Camp Camp Essentials (and Nonessentials) Are you ready for the best summer ever?

We’ve assembled a list of all the essentials (and nonessentials) you’ll need to bring with you or leave at home. Whether you are attending camp during the day or overnight, we want you to have the best experience possible.

Pro Tips: • Write your Girl Scout’s name on their clothing and personal items. This makes it a lot easier for lost and found items to make their way back to their owner.

• Make sure your Girl Scout is comfortable in their camp clothing and using their camping gear. Many essential items can be found at our Waltham retail store.

• For overnight camp, we suggest that families pack for camp in a large plastic tote or duffel bag rather than using many small bags. It can also be helpful for Girl Scouts to have complete outfits packed in Ziploc bags within their luggage. Please note: campers may need to help move their luggage, so please pack accordingly.

Please check your Camper Information Packet for a more extensive packing list for the camp your Girl Scout is attending, including items for specialty programs.

Health and Safety Guidelines

Gender Inclusion at Camp GSEMA pledges our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as an ally and advocate for underserved and/or underrepresented members of our community, regardless of race/ethnicity, disabilities, LGBTQ, sexual orientation, national origin, age, religion, or socioeconomic status.

Camp extends opportunities to campers who identify with the girl experience. Girl Scouts serves campers who have been historically marginalized and systemically excluded from outdoor spaces. This can and does include cisgender girls, and gender-expansive, nonbinary, trans-female, and trans-male youth.

We invite campers to be themselves at camp. To learn more about gender inclusion at GSEMA summer camps, please explore our Camp Culture Code. This resource will help prepare campers and their families for some of the unique questions, concerns, and opportunities for inclusion that come up in the space of camp.

Visit gsema.org/camp for the latest camp availability.

Health and Safety Guidelines Camp Safety Guidelines We follow all safety and risk management guidelines set by the local, state, and federal boards of health, Girl Scouts of the USA, and the ACA. All of our camps are ACA accredited. Massachusetts camps comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (105 CMR 430.000), New Hampshire camps comply with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services Rules (He-C 4003 & 4004), and each camp is also licensed by the board of health of the town in which it is located.

Staff Selection, Screening, and Training All staff are at least 16 years of age or high school graduates, and are selected based on their ability to work with youth, teach and share skills, and work as a team, as well as their commitment to Girl Scout values. We conduct thorough staff criminal background (CORI) and sexual offender (SORI) checks.

Once hired, staff attend one to two weeks of training to bond as a team and gain skills in camping, risk management, safety, positive youth development, and interpersonal communication.

Pre-Camp Health Assessment Required health forms are provided in the camper information packet (formerly confirmation packet) and are due by May 1, 2026. Campers are required to have a physical examination within 18 months prior to their arrival at camp, and health forms must be completed and signed by a physician each year.

Care of Mildly Ill Campers A healthcare supervisor (HCS) staffs the camp health center, and a healthcare consultant (local physician) is on call. Staff are responsible for reporting any signs of illness to the HCS, which assesses each situation and may administer over-the-counter medications if authorized by the caregiver. The HCS will determine if the camper should be sent home or seen by a doctor, in which case arrangements are made with the oversight of the camp director. In both situations, caregivers are contacted as soon as possible.

Register online at gsema.org/camp.

Campers with Special Needs We make every attempt to offer summer camp opportunities to all youth who want to attend Girl Scout camp. We can accommodate most special needs and dietary restrictions/preferences. Please email customercare@gsema.org to arrange a meeting with a member of our camp team to discuss how we can make your camper’s experience exciting, appropriate, and fulfilling. The information you share with us will be held confidential, shared only as HIPAA allows, and in accordance with your wishes.

Weapons, Drugs, and Smoking Policy We do not permit recreational drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, or weapons of any kind (e.g., Swiss army knives, scissors, etc.) at camp. Campers who will need to take prescription medication while attending camp should bring it to camp in its original containers with their names on them and turn them over to the bus monitor or healthcare supervisor upon arrival at the bus or camp.

Your Rights To comply with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local boards of health, we inform you that caregivers have the right to request a copy of our background checks policy, camp healthcare policies, discipline policies, and policies for filing grievances. To make an appointment to do so, contact customercare@gsema.org.

Day Camp Bus Transportation Campers taking the bus must be picked up at the selected bus stop by an authorized pick-up person.

We cannot accept notes from caregivers to have campers walk home from the bus stop alone. You can log into CampInTouch to update your list of those who are authorized to pick up your camper by May 1, 2026. Please include their names and phone numbers.

Everyone picking up a camper from the bus must show a photo ID.

Stay Connected When you register your Girl Scout for camp, you will receive News You Can Use, a monthly camp email, from February through May. Please be sure that your email address in CampInTouch is accurate. In addition to these emails, we will also communicate updates on our website, social media, and the Campanion App.

Mobile Experience for Caregivers: Campanion Campanion is a mobile app that connects you with your child’s camp experience through a personalized stream of content. From simplified form uploads, photo galleries, regular updates from camp, and more, Campanion connects you to camp like never before. Features include: ▶

Mobile Camper Forms Caregivers can view the complete list of forms that are required in order to complete their camper’s registration and enrollment. Health forms can be downloaded, emailed to doctors, and then uploaded as PDFs right to a camper’s profile.

▶

Face Finder An optional tool to deliver campers’ photos directly to their loved ones. Caregivers upload a reference photo of their child, which the system catalogs into its database. As photos are uploaded from camp, Face Finder compares the unique facial characteristics that it learned from the training photo with each new photo. If there’s a match, the camper’s caregiver receives a notification and the photo shows up directly in their stream within the Campanion app.

▶

Photo Gallery Photos are stored within albums, making it easy to find and view images such as favorites or from different activities at camp. Caregivers can tap, swipe, and browse camp albums directly from their phone.

Day Camp

Leadership Programs Day Camp Leadership Program GSEMA’s Day Camp Leadership Program starts for campers entering grade 7. The program is designed so campers build their knowledge year after year until they are old enough to apply to be camp staff. Campers must wait until the following summer before attending the next level in the program.

The first step is Program Aide I (PA I), where campers learn the basics of helping out younger campers, understanding age characteristics, and more. The following year campers are eligible for Program Aide II (PA II), where they deepen their knowledge of what it means to be a leader.

The third step in the program is to become a Day Camp Assistant (DCA). Before becoming a DCA, a camper must have completed PA I and PA II. All campers registering for the DCA program will be put on a waitlist to start so that we may verify they have completed the necessary training. DCA campers should expect to move off the waitlist within two weeks of registration.

The final step in the leadership journey is the Junior Counselor Program, the most fun internship ever! Get in-depth, on-the-job experience and training as you work alongside the counselors in units. All campers will be placed on a waitlist and will receive an application. Additionally, an interview will take place with all applicants in the spring.

Visit gsema.org/camp for the latest camp availability.

Leadership Programs

GSEMA’s Overnight Camp Leadership Program is referred to as Counselor in Training (CIT) and starts for campers entering grade 11. The program is designed so campers build their knowledge and gain skills year after year until they are old enough to apply to be camp staff.

The first step is Counselor in Training (CIT). Under the guidance of camp staff, CITs will learn about age level characteristics, teaching techniques, how to keep younger campers engaged and more. CITs will also get a chance to practice their skills while working with younger campers. In addition, CITs will work with their fellow CITS on their leadership development, learning what style best suites them and how to work as a team.

The next step for CIT I graduates is Counselor in Training II for those entering 12th grade. This is a more in-depth, on-the-job experience and training. They will work with counselors in units and specialty areas and build on the skills they learned in CIT I. All CIT II applicants need to fill out an application and they will be waitlisted until applications are reviewed and approved. CIT IIs will also have an interview with Camp Director or Leadership Specialist to talk more about the program and expectations while at camp.
