Spending your summer at Girl Scout
camp means joining a tradition that
began more than a century ago.
From the best camping pastimes to new favorites,
awesome adventures await every Girl Scout at our 2020
resident camps. Choose from a week of the arts or a week
at Hogwarts. Shooting sports or shooting stars? Or, maybe
a trip back in time or a trip to Niagara Falls! No matter which
session you join, each summer session is overflowing with
moments that will grow friendships, inspire strength, and
build up confidence.
The majority of Girl Scouts who have been to Girl Scout
camp say that their camp experience was at the center
of discovering their sense of self, seeking challenges, and
building leadership skills. That’s what makes our tradition so
meaningful and summer at Girl Scout camp so incredible.
We’re ready to have the
most amazing summer yet!
The Magic of
Girl Scout Camp
In a study of adults who attended
camp as a child, those who went
to Girl Scout camp say that their
camp experience was critical to
the development of their:
• • Ability to lead a group of peers
in a task (81% vs. 63%)
• • Appreciation for different people
and perspectives (73% vs. 61%)
• • Ability to take responsibility for
their own behavior (65% vs. 55%)
• • Confidence in their ability to
be successful (70% vs. 56%)
• • Understanding of who they are
and what they want to do in life
(70% vs. 58%)
