Girl Scout Day Camp 2019

Information for girls in grades K-6 Oh, the places you’ll go as you venture into the world of Girl Scout day camp. You might navigate to faraway places, explore the career paths of famous women, delve into science, or leave no stone unturned as you enhance your outdoor skills.

Day camp is an exciting introduction to the outdoors – try new experiences, develop important skills, and make new friends. We want you to have a positive camp experience by becoming comfortable outdoors and in your own abilities.

Our programs are full of sun, fun and adventure. You may choose to attend one camp or pick one for every week of the summer. Although times may vary, a typical day camp is a five-day session held Monday – Friday between 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Tier One closely reflects the full cost of camp, including staff expenses, property maintenance, food, and program supplies.

Tier Two is a partially subsidized cost of camp, for families that can pay a little more, but not the full cost of camp.

Tier Three is heavily subsidized through participation in product programs, special events, donations, and grants.

Choose the tier that works best for you and your family. Fee choice is on the honor system and no financial documentation is required.

All campers will have the same experience regardless of the tier chosen, and camp staff will have no knowledge of the tiers their campers’ families have chosen.

We believe every girl, regardless of financial

circumstances, should have the opportunity to

experience camp. While the cost to maintain camp

continues to rise, we understand families have

differing abilities to meet summer camp costs. For

this reason, we’ve adopted tiered pricing.

Items shown are not to scale. Colors and styles may vary. All prices include sales tax.

Mess Kit This mess kit has everything you’ll need when it comes time to cook out. The kit includes a plate, bowl, cup, and cutlery, all packaged in a convenient mesh bag.

Narwhal Your camper will have awesome adventures with this magical creature. This 13" Ty Beanie is the unicorn of the sea.
