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%) From a 2019 study, From Girl Scout Camp to Real-World Champ!, conducted by the Girl Scout Research Institute. 2 Don’t forget!
