Important Information

Is she ready for camp?

If your girl has never spent the night away from home, you may want to start her with a short 1 or 2 night stay at resident camp. After that, she can progress into whatever length of camp she desires.

Although age is one factor in readiness for resident camp, a girl's maturity level and personality are more important indicators. Talk to your girl. If she is enthusiastic about attending, she will probably enjoy camp. The following questions may help in determining readiness for resident camp.

Has your daughter ever been away from home for more than one night without family members?
Can she keep up with her personal belongings?
Can she take care of her own basic hygiene needs such as showering, toileting, and brushing her teeth without assistance?
Can she cope with unfamiliar people, new places, and group schedules?
Does she enjoy making new friends?
Does she like group situations?
Does she enjoy being outdoors? Can she see mosquitos, bugs, or other “nature” friends without being frightened?

Am I ready for my daughter to attend Resident Camp?

Caregivers sometimes have a difficult time sending their children to resident camp. The following questions will help in your decision making.

Can you relax and enjoy yourself when your girl sleeps overnight away from home?
Are you prepared to be away from your girl for several days?
Are you willing to have your girl participate in camp kapers (chores) such as setting tables, cleaning the cabin, sweeping, picking up trash, and cleaning the bathroom?
Are you confident in your girl's ability to take care of herself, make her own bed, and keep track of her own belongings?
Do you believe that camp provides girls with a fun and rewarding experience that builds self-worth and independence?
Are you willing to trust the camp staff with the care of your girl?

Not a Girl Scout? Not a Problem!

All girls are welcome at summer camp! This is a great way to get a taste of the Girl Scout experience and make new friends. When you want to continue after camp, GSGC staff will help find a troop!

Non-Girl Scouts will be contacted to pay a $35 membership fee in addition to the camp fee to become a registered Girl Scout. Upon joining, girls will have all of the benefits of Girl Scout membership through Sept. 2024!

Are Sessions Based on My Camper's Grade?

Camp is a great place for progression and we feel it is important to focus on your child's developmental needs at different ages. For this reason, you’ll find that our sessions are focused on specific ages aligning with the Girl Scout program levels (Daisy, Brownie, etc.).

Deposit

A non-refundable $25 deposit is required to hold your camper's place at camp. This deposit will be applied to the overall cost of your summer camp session.

Packing List

Here's a list of what to pack for Summer Camp.

Using Your Camp Credits

How do I use my camp credits?: Each Girl Scout earning a camp credit will receive a 2023 Cookie Reward Camp Credit notification email with instructions on how to designate earned credits. The process will include filling out a webform and Council staff applying the credit to your unpaid account balance. You must first reserve your Girl Scout’s spot in camp by completing the registration and paying the $25 non-refundable deposit.

If you believe you have earned camp credits, but have not received an email by May 1, 2023 please email customercare@girlscouts-gateway.org.
Why can’t I stack more than $150 worth of credits?: In order to ensure the fair use and distribution of camp credits, we do not allow more than $150 worth of camp credits to be stacked. This policy is in place to protect the hard work of our Girl Scouts, who can only earn up to $150 of camp credits as a reward during our Cookie Program.
Can my credits be gifted?: Yes! You are able to gift your camp credits to another girl. Instructions on gifting a camp credit will be included in the 2023 Cookie Reward Camp Credit notification email.

If you believe you have earned camp credits, but have not received an email by May 1, 2023 please email customercare@girlscouts-gateway.org.
Can camp credit be used for the camp session deposit?: No, camp credits cannot be applied toward the $25 non-refundable camp deposit.
Can they be used in the camp store?: No, camp credits are credits towards the amazing experience of camp and cannot be used as money at the camp store.
What if I cannot attend camp? Can they be used on something else?: No, camp credits can only be used towards an experience at camp and cannot be exchanged for other rewards.
