Summer Adventures Begin at Camp

We were thrilled to welcome our first session of overnight campers yesterday! If you haven’t registered yet, there is still time to join us! Check out our day, overnight and horse camp programs and register up to two weeks before the session start date. Camp is a place for all girls to feel welcome and grow through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and girls rising grades 1-12 can explore summer camp programs.

Already registered for a session? Don’t forget about our $50 Multi-Week Discount for campers who come for two or more weeks of week-long overnight programs! Families will pay full price for their first week of camp, then each additional week will have $50 off!

Join Us at the 2025 Volunteer Conference 

Join us in Statesville for the 2025 Volunteer Conference: Cruisin’ Into a New Year on Saturday, August 2 for a day of inspiration, learning and connection. This energizing event is designed for both current Service Unit Team members and troop leaders interested in taking on local leadership roles.

You’ll hear the latest updates, fuel up with fresh ideas, build your skills, swap experiences and help drive the Girl Scout Mission forward. Connect with fellow volunteers and prepare to kick off a great Girl Scout year. You’ll walk away with new tools, valuable insights and, of course, an exclusive patch!

All adult Girl Scouts and caregivers of youth members are encouraged to complete our short GSCP2P Wants to Know Survey as we prepare for an amazing year ahead.
