Our summer camps offer a wide variety of programs for all your different interests. Summer camp is a great way for girls to explore leadership, build skills, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. In a girl-led environment, all girls will be able to challenge themselves and take healthy risks while surrounded by supportive friends and camp staff. When girls spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure to nature, they thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
No matter which camp you choose or whether you stay a few days, a week, or longer, you will have a ton of fun making new friends, trying new things, practicing new-found skills, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Girl Scouts' dedication to progression in outdoor programming means that your camper will practice age-appropriate skills and gain the experience they need to feel confident taking the next step in their outdoor journey. No prior Girl Scout experience needed to attend Girl Scout camp! Non-members have an additional $35 service fee for camp which includes all membership benefits through September of the following year.
This summer belongs to YOU!
Overnight camp is for campers who have finished first grade.

AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION (ACA)
The American Camp Association, or ACA, is the only accrediting body for recreational camps in the United States. ACA’s accreditation standards focus on health, safety, and risk management, and are used as benchmarks by government entities. ACA accreditation provides public evidence of a camp’s commitment to the well-being of campers and staff.
Camp Bonnie Brae, Camp Green Eyrie, and Camp Lewis Perkins are fully accredited ACA Camps, While Camp Laruel Wood follows all ACA standards and guidelines. GSCWM submits annual reports to ACA for review and each camp receives an on-site evaluation from ACA representatives every three years. In addition to maintaining accreditation status, GSCWM staff utilize ACA trainings and research to develop exciting camp programs, maintain up-to-date staffing policies, and uphold industry best practices for participant health & safety
