Troop/ Group Camping Summer Camp

Camping is a great way to build new skills, get a sense of community, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Whether you go for a day, a week or longer, Girl Scout camping gives you an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun-always under the guidance of caring, trained adults. Every girl should have a chance to camp!

Types of Camping

Here are some specific types of Girl Scout camping:

Resident Camping (summers only) is a camping experience in which campers live at an established site. Girls sign up as individual campers or go with a buddy.

Day Camping (summers only) is camping by the day at a local park. Girls may sign up as individual campers or go with buddies.

Program Weekends at Camp are run by staff/volunteers, who sometimes provide all the logistical arrangements such as food, project supplies, a first-aider, and experienced instructors when needed.  Check descriptions of these weekends, as programs and services provided may vary. Look for opportunities in Girlfriends and Possibilities.

Troop/Group Camping is a camping experience planned and carried out by a group of girls and their camp-trained advisors/leaders.

Minimal Impact Camping: A method that encourages each person to leave no trace of their outdoor or camping experience. It covers everything from the planning stages to the outdoor experience itself. The concept of minimal impact can apply to any outdoor activity or camping environment.
