Summer Camp

Girl Scout Summer Camp Experience

 

There’s a camp and outdoors experience for every Girl Scout—from stargazing and discovering wildlife to rock-wall climbing and archery. Whichever adventure they choose, they'll return home with a lifetime of memories—and more courage, confidence, and character than ever.

Camp builds problem-solvers! Girls with more frequent outdoor experiences are more likely to seek challenges and are better at solving problems—qualities that will help them embark on a lifetime of leadership, both academically and personally.

Camp exposes girls to new experiences! Of girls surveyed, 72% said that Girl Scouts gave them the chance to build their skills or try new outdoor activities.

Camp builds courage and confidence! Spending time in nature improves a girl’s concentration and creative reasoning. Outdoor experiences also help promote healthy social development and increase her self-esteem.

Not a member; not a problem!
