A non-refundable deposit of $60 per Girl Scout is due when you register. All remaining balances must be paid by Friday, May 30, 2025.
Registrants with unpaid balances after that day will be removed from the session roster, and their deposit will be forfeited. Payments toward camp can be made in full at any time prior to May 30 or can be paid via installments. We know things happen and plans can change, so families are able to cancel a reserved session for a refund (minus the $60 deposit) before Friday, May 30, 2025. In case of camp cancellations by GSK, all payments will be refunded.
Sessions fill very quickly. When sessions reach capacity, campers can join the waitlist. If additional capacity becomes available, new openings are offered via email on a first-come, first-served basis from our waitlist. Hopeful campers on our waitlist will have five business days to respond to our email notice and pay the non-refundable $60 deposit to claim the new spot.

Looking ahead, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is a great way for campers to earn a cost-free summer adventure. When a Girl Scout sells 2,200+ boxes, they earn a free week of Overnight or PLC Day Camp. Selling 2,600 boxes will allow you to bring a friend along with you during your free week!

First Time Campers: You will receive a welcome email from CampDoc.com after completing registration and making your $60 deposit. This email will allow you to access the CampDoc website to complete your camper’s health profile and access other important information about camp.
Returning Campers: Log into CampDoc to complete registration. Please review your camper’s health profile and update any information for this camp season.
Our goal is to provide a positive experience for all campers. Please help ensure your Girl Scout’s successful camp experience. Contact us at least one month prior to the session to discuss any physical, behavioral, emotional, dietary, or other needs for your camper. Once we have reviewed your camper’s needs, we will determine if we can safely accommodate those needs at camp.
We are inspired to provide communities of acceptance where you’ll enjoy meeting new people from different backgrounds. At camp, we come together to challenge ourselves as we spend time in nature, try new things, and learn new skills. Our staff welcomes you to the magic of camp.
Check back this spring for the 2025 Overnight Camp Packing list.

We're so excited to see you at camp this summer! Here's what you can expect for check-in and check-out.
Check-In: Before you arrive, your camper’s CampDoc profile must be 100% complete, medications properly labeled in a Ziplock bag, and luggage/day bag packed.
Check-Out: Ensure the person picking up your camper is listed as a trusted contact on your camper’s CampDoc profile and has their ID to present to the camp team.
The Girl Scout Trading Post/Shop will be open to campers and family upon pick up and drop off. Cash will not be accepted.
Mail: You may prepare letters or packages and leave them with camp staff during check-in to be delivered to your camper throughout their session. Please label the desired delivery date, camper's name, and unit on each letter/package. Do not include food, candy, or gum in packages. We recommend pre-mailing before camper arrival to make sure any mail arrives while they are at camp.
CampGrams: Communicate with your camper with digital messages using CampDoc CampGrams. Purchase tokens that allow you to send messages to your camper that are printed and passed out daily. More information about how you can purchase tokens and send messages can be found in your camper’s CampDoc profile.
Phone Calls: We want your campers to enjoy the magic of camp unplugged free from distractions, so they can enjoy all the aspects of camp. Campers will have limited access to phones and calls home. Caregivers can reach out to the Customer Care Team with any general camp questions. We will provide the direct camp number upon arrival if you need to reach camp staff directly during your camper’s session.
We suggest campers do not bring personal electronics with them. If you choose to send your camper with a cell phone, they will have access to it one hour a day.
Camp will contact the listed emergency contact in cases of emergency, illness, behavioral needs, or homesickness to give any updates and collaborate on plans of care as needed.
Visitors: While camp is in sessions no visitors are allowed on property upon check out your camper can take family members on a self-guided tour.
It’s common for caregivers to have questions about their Girl Scout’s life at camp. Check back soon for helpful notes on health, safety, and common questions we hear. Please reach out to our staff with any additional questions you have.
