Day Camp
 Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts operates five day camps throughout central and western Massachusetts. . Girl Scout camp offers girls entering grades 1-12 a unique experience to make new friends and master new skills in a safe, secure, outdoor environment alongside experienced, professional staff. Through girl-centered programs, each girl lives and plays in a community where her voice is heard and valued. Girls make decisions about their experience and help build a safe place to create friendships and try new things. Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts welcomes all girls to share in the fabulous summer programs offered. We look forward to sharing the wonders of summer camp with your child!

Transportation
Bus transportation is included in the registration fee. Buses run from points
throughout Central and Western Massachusetts. If you’d like your camper to ride the bus to day camp, you must
indicate this on the registration form. Parents/guardians are responsible for transporting campers to and from
a bus stop or to camp. Two adult counselors will be on each bus to check in and supervise campers. Details
about bus procedures and directions to camp will be included in your child’s confirmation packet. Click here to learn more about bus transportation.
Buddies
 Camp is sometime more fun with a friend. Your camper may request to be with one “buddy” in the same group. We
will place your child with her buddy whenever possible. Both buddies must be in the same grade and must
request to be placed in the same group.
