Summer Camp

You’re a force of nature, Girl Scout.
And you are ready for more outdoor adventures.

Summer camp is a place where campers explore the outdoors, try new activities, practice independence away from home, learn to work with others, make new friends, and so much more.

Girl Scout Camp combines classic camp activities, including kayaking, horseback riding, ziplining, and campfires, with unique Girl Scout traditions of camp songs and games.

Whether campers attend camp daily or spend a whole week away from home, they’ll discover, connect, and take action on issues and challenges that are important to them.

Why Camp Matters toggle arrow

Summertime is when some of the most fun childhood memories are created, but did you know that it’s also an awesome opportunity for your girl to grow, learn, and become her best self?

Here are seven amazing benefits your girl will get from her summer camp experience:

She’ll make new friends – There’s nothing quite like giggling over games in the bunk or singing songs with new besties around a campfire. That’s why it’s actually good to send her to camp where she might not know many (or any) other girls! Having a diverse group of friends, not just kids she knows from school, will broaden her horizons and help her see her own worth, too.
She’ll see all she can be – In an all-girl environment like Girl Scout summer camp, girls are more comfortable trying new outdoor activities, and they get to take the lead every single time. There's ample room at the top for your girl to take charge and flex her muscles, both when it comes to outdoor adventure and crucial leadership skills that will last throughout her life.
She’ll turn off her devices and tune in to nature – Getting out in nature is more exciting than any app she might have on her device. Unplugging for a while will keep her more present to enjoy every life moment instead of watching it from a screen.
She’ll grow her grit – She might scrape a knee or elbow while she’s away–and that’s a good thing! When she learns to get back up after minor setbacks, she’s building her resilience and learning that she’s a lot tougher than she thinks.
She’ll meet new mentors – Having awesome role models will help your girl see the many ways to be successful and happy in life. And the incredibly supportive staff and counselors at your girl’s summer camp are ready to step up to the plate and inspire!
She’ll gain independence – Being away from home, especially if that’s a new thing for her, might be a bit intimidating to both your daughter and you. But having that time away to explore and try activities on her own will make her more self-reliant and able to discover new things to share and teach you when she returns home.
She’ll have tons of time for play – Playtime is anything but a waste of time. In fact, studies show that play allows the neurons in a child’s brain to form new connections–and that this rewiring helps boost emotional intelligence, decision-making skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

The truth is, sending your girl off to camp is one of the best gifts you can give her. The fun, outdoor adventure, and new friends will enrich her life and give her the courage, people skills, and leadership chops to succeed at whatever she sets her mind to.

Not a Girl Scout? Not a problem! Joining Girl Scouts is easy, and you can attend camp without a troop.

Financial Assistance (Camperships) toggle arrow

All GSSJC girl members may apply for financial assistance to attend summer overnight and day camp. Applicants are required to pay the $50 deposit when applying for a campership, unless applying for a full campership. Camperships cover the cost of the camp session only and do not include camp packs.

Camperships are need-based awards limited to one overnight camp session or two-day camp sessions per girl, per summer. A 2025-2026 GSUSA membership and participation in one or both product programs for the current membership year are required.

Requests for camperships are due by April 15. Requests received after that date will be reviewed only if funds are available. A committee of volunteers will review your completed application, and you will receive notification from the committee with the approval amount or a non-approval letter. Data may be used for grant reporting with any personal information omitted.

Awards are based on multiple criteria and may not be awarded right away. Processing campership requests can take several weeks.

How to apply for a campership:

1. Register for overnight camp or day camp.

Online registrants must pay the $50 deposit.
Campers requesting a full campership must complete their full Summer Camp 2026 registration with a completed campership application during the time of registration.

2. Complete the campership application while in the application process. All information must be completed. The parent/guardian must sign the form before applications are reviewed.

Camp Discounts toggle arrow

Campers will receive a $50 discount on their second week of overnight camp and a $25 discount on their second week of day camp. The multi-week discount applies only to multiple overnight sessions or multiple day camp sessions. Family sessions are not eligible.

Families with more than one camper will receive a 10% discount on the camp session for each additional sibling after the first registered camper.
