Financial assistance is still available!
We want every Girl Scout to be able to attend camp regardless of their financial situation. Once you register for a program and pay a $50 non-refundable deposit, you will have access to our online financial aid application. Receiving financial aid is confidential. Our camp staff do not know who receives financial assistance. Last year, campers who applied for financial assistance received an average of $280 to use on registration fees.
Session Spotlight:
Step right up! Welcome to Under the Big Top, a week full of laughter, color and carnival fun! Campers will explore the magic of the big top by juggling with scarves, spinning frisbees, balancing on beams, playing silly clown games and making bright carnival crafts. Every activity is designed for fun and creativity-no experience needed! Alongside these circus adventures, campers can enjoy all their classic camp favorites like climbing, archery, boating, horseback riding and team-building games, giving them plenty of ways to play, explore and make new friends. During Explore More activity blocks, campers can pick what excites them most-whether it’s learning clown tricks, decorating carnival props or flying on the rock wall.
Midweek brings Theme Thursday: Big Top Day! On this special day, campers can dress in bright carnival colors, silly clown accessories or fun circus outfits-think clown noses, top hats, sparkly vests or colorful scarves. It’s a playful, creative way to celebrate the magic of the circus and make the day even more festive and fun! The week wraps up with an all-camp carnival, full of fun games, crafts and activities for everyone to enjoy. It’s a week of magic, laughter and big-top fun that campers will remember all summer!

Celebrate Cultural Richness With Heritage Months Patch Program
The Girl Scout Movement deeply values diversity and inclusion, and the month of June (LGBTQ+ Pride Month) is a great time for you to start (or continue!) learning about the LGBTQ+ communities.
The “I Am a Girl Scout!” fun patch is designed to provide Girl Scouts and volunteers of all backgrounds the opportunity to learn more about the identities, cultures, histories and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community honored during Pride Month. We invite you to explore these cultures and communities in your state and across the country! We’ve got plenty of activities for you to choose from so that you can make new discoveries and have tons of fun learning while earning a cool patch! The “I Am a Girl Scout!” LGBTQ+ Pride Month fun patch is part of the Multicultural Community Celebration fun patch series.

Summer nights at the ballpark are kicking off this month! Girls of all ages and their families are invited to enjoy the excitement of America’s pastime during special Girl Scout Nights across the region.
