Summer Camps

Make new friends, paddle your own kayak, zoom down a zipline, or sing songs around a campfire. All of this and more is possible at Volunteer-Led Camps. 

Volunteer-Led Camps happen all around our council and provide a closer-to-home option for girls and troops.  Whether it is your first camp as a Daisy or you’re leading as a Senior Program Aide, these camps will bring adventure to your summer!

These opportunities are led by the amazing volunteers in your area! Areas or service units decide what locations will best serve the girls in their locale, who will serve on their staff, and plan the program for the camp. Council staff trains the camp’s hub staff, supports them in their planning and program development, and sometimes provides specialty staffing. 

• Day Camps are typically four or five days long with one overnight. 
• Mini Camps and Camporees are one to three days long with girls staying every night.

Depending on the event, girls either attend as individuals/buddies or as part of a troop/group with accompanying troop/group adults.

Volunteer hub staffs–directors, business manager, and leaders–are recruited to plan and carry out
the program with the campers. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors serve as teen mentors to
assist the campers with their program. Day camps and Camporees offer girls the opportunity to expand their camping skills beyond their troop with adults and older girls that they may already know through other local events.
