Summer Overnight Camp

Live the Adventure - Camp Life is the Best Life!

When a Girl Scout leaves home and embraces the camp life, she meets new friends and peers on even ground.

When campers sit around the campfire, paddle a canoe, shoot a bow and arrow, or climb a natural rock wall for the first time, something in them begins to change. They gain a sense of pride by facing their fears, they learn new skills, and learn to make new friends. 

Camp is transformative. At Girl Scout camp, campers ages 5-17 are encouraged to discover who they are and what they can become while gaining independence and self-confidence. Trained, caring staff respect and challenge campers, and campers gain a better understanding of themselves and their leadership potential. All Girl Scout camp programs are designed with campers' interests in mind to grow their passions and take healthy risks in a safe, supportive environment.

Summer Camp 2023 will begin Sunday, June 11th and run through Friday, July 28th with the week of the 4th of July off. See below for details. 

Registration is open on campdoc. Some sessions are full and are closed.
