Sue “Skipper” Csorba Award
The Sue “Skipper” Csorba Award is a campership honoring a Girl Scout alumna from Annapolis, Maryland.
As a troop leader, Sue Csorba was committed to giving youth outdoor experiences and determined to have an inclusive troop of youth from all races, incomes, and family situations. With Sue Csorba’s vision and passion in mind, the fund provides a limited number of camperships each summer. Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines will provide these awards based on need and will consider a variety of factors, including financial, family, and home situation. Priority is given to first-time campers.
All campership applications are due to the Raleigh Service Center by April 1, 2025. Recipients will be notified of their award by April 22, 2025.
Camp Financial Assistance
Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines understands the value of camp for our Girl Scout families. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering these important programs at affordable rates. Camp fees cover most council direct costs such as food, program supplies, supplementary health and accident insurance, and camp counselor salaries. Indirect costs such as planning and administering the program, registration, and property maintenance are costs subsidized by the council. Did you know that cookies help to make summer camp happen? Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program also help our council provide high-quality summer experiences for all youth.
Even with many camp costs subsidized by our council, we know that camp can be out of reach for some families. That’s where camperships come in.
Camperships
Financial assistance in the form of camperships enables all campers to enjoy the Girl Scout camp experience. Camperships are made possible thanks to our many generous donors and are available to currently registered Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines members who need assistance paying for the total cost of camp.
To be considered for a campership, a camper must be a registered Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines member. We have two options for campership assistance.
• Deposit and Campership- If you are unable to pay the deposit amount, you can request deposit assistance. Our Customer Care team will back office register your camper for the session of your choice (based on available spaces) within three business days of your request.
• Campership- Pay the deposit and secure the camper’s registration through MyGS and request assistance for the remaining balance.
For more information about camperships or to apply online, please visit gsnccp.org/campaid. You can also apply by mail, please request a form at helpdesk@nccoastalpines.org.. Applications are due by April 1.
Please note: Families may apply for a campership (financial assistance) for GS–NCCP members. The award amount varies and generally does not exceed $350 per member. Awards are limited to one session per Girl Scout member.
You can make summer overnight camp possible for a camper! Just mark your donation to the Campership Fund during the online registration process or on the registration form. Donations are tax-deductible.
Cookie Dough earned during the Girl Scout Cookie Program through Superstar Destinations from the 2024 and 2025 sale may be applied toward overnight camp sessions, day camps, and council-sponsored events. Campers with sales from 500 packages and more qualify for Superstar Destinations.
The easiest way to apply Cookie Dough toward these activities is to choose this option on the Superstar Destinations form, which caregivers must fill out for their Girl Scout at the end of the cookie sale program. For more information about paying for camp using Cookie Dough or to apply your Girl Scout’s Cookie Dough, please contact the Customer Care team at helpdesk@nccoastalpines.org or 800-284-4475.
When we say your camper will Discover Their Big Dreams, Big Possibilities at Girl Scout Camp, we’re not looking at things through rose-colored glasses; we can prove it. Past camp parents have reported that after just one week at camp, their camper returned more confident, adventurous, and independent. Campers shared that camp was a place where they belonged. They were able to overcome fears and make new friends.
At Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines, we want to ensure all youth can grow in courage, confidence, and character as they discover their dreams and possibilities at camp. The benefits of camp are well-documented. Studies have found that camp increases independence, confidence, and leadership and provides mental
