At Girl Scout camp, girls feel comfortable to acquire new skills in a safe and supportive all-girl environment. From a relaxed swim to teaming up on a project, camp offers girls a variety of opportunities to learn and grow inside and out.

• Courage. Camp is a community unlike any other. Together in an unfamiliar setting, girls find the courage within themselves to meet new people, make friends, and bond. As they make choices and direct projects, girls learn to work well with others, become self-reliant, and develop their leadership skills.

• Confidence. For many girls, camp has unlimited potential to unlock or boost a girl’s confidence. Girls have the opportunity to try new things and test their limits.

• Character. Camp is the ultimate character-building experience. It is a safe place for girls to learn individual responsibility and work as part of a team.

Registration Tips

Do you offer financial assistance? Finances should never be an obstacle to a summer camp adventure! Any GSNNJ registered Girl Scout may apply for financial assistance. Each family’s request and the availability of funds determine the amount granted. Download the Girl/Adult Financial Assistance (GAFA) form from the GSNNJ website and submit it with your registration receipt. The $75 deposit is required and can be refunded if sufficient financial aid is not available. Our deadline for financial assistance applications is April 2. No applications will be accepted after that date.

What will my daughter bring home to remember her fun time at Girl Scout Camp?Each session, your daughter will come home with a free photo of her unit. She will also receive a free t-shirt the first session she attends summer camp. Our Trading Post (camp store) will be open to purchase camp memorabilia such as clothing, key chains, jewelry, stuffed animals, etc.

What if the program I want to register for is full? If a program appears full, complete the wait list form online at www.gsnnj.org>camp>summer camp. If space becomes available, girls will be placed in the session in the order their names were received. Parents/guardians will be called about any new openings. A return call to the office must be made within 24 hours to keep her space in the session.

Can my camper be in the same unit as her friend? Girls like to make new friends at camp. But we also know that some girls want to be with a particular friend, so we will try to accommodate a request to be placed with a buddy. Girls wishing to be buddies must be in the same program and cannot be more then 1 grade apart. Only one buddy can be requested and it must be reciprocal on the buddy’s registration.

If I didn’t register for an overnight at the time of registration, is it too late to sign up?If there is availability, we would be happy to add your camper. Registration for the overnight closes 16 days prior to the beginning of the camp session. Please email [email protected].

My daughter is having a great time at camp. How can I sign her up for additional sessions? If there is availability, we would be happy to register your camper for an additional session. Registration closes 16 days prior to the beginning of the camp session. Please email [email protected].

I have not received an email or a packet of information since the registration confirmation email. Is there anything I need to know before the camp session begins?The camp director will send an email 1-2 weeks prior to the start of the session with information such as Remind.com (bus delay notifications) and more. In the meantime, please view our Parent Guide which can be found at www.gsnnj.org>camp>summer camp.
