Summer of 2015 promises an abundance of choices and experiences to match every girl’s wishes and interests. We’re confident the young lady in your life will find something fun she can’t wait to do this summer at our camps!
Camp is a place where a girl can make new friends, explore the world around her and discover something she can’t wait to do again. It’s a place where transformation happens. In an environment created just for her, a girl learns real life skills, develops self-esteem while gaining a sense of independence and community. While playing outdoors, girls encounter more opportunities for decision making that lets them work together to problem solve and think creatively. Camp gives girls the chance to let their curiosity run free and sparks their imagination!
Whether she attends camp daily or spends the whole week away from home, Girl Scout camp helps a girl discover her potential, dreams, aspirations and builds a skill set she can use for success today and in her future. Campers will discover, connect and even take action on issues and challenges important to them.
