Leadership. Confidence. Independence. Community. FUN!
We strive to provide camps and programs that build campers' leadership, confidence, independence, and community. Our camps are committed to providing opportunities for Girl Scouts in our council and beyond, creating and connecting a diverse sisterhood that helps campers unlock their potential and discover the world all while developing life skills and making memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

A note about safety: As you know, our priority is always the health and safety of our campers. We plan to use a variety of non-pharmaceutical interventions like handwashing, hand-sanitizer, and utilizing outdoor and well-ventilated spaces whenever possible as we have for the past two summers. Preliminary guidelines will be included in the Family Guide (coming January 2023) and updated as we get closer to the start of the summer camp season.
We continue to work in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA, the American Camp Association, and The Alliance for Camp Health (formerly the Association of Camp Nursing), and follow the lead of all local, state, and national governing organizations.
