Camp is the best adventure of the summer—so join us as we kick off the summer in true Girl Scout fashion! Try your hand at classic camp crafts, learning basic skills to have fun in the outdoors, virtually explore the trails of camp on a hike and learn some traditional cookout recipes.
Along the way, you’ll see some familiar faces, hear some of your favorite camp songs and join us in laughter and fun. It’s your summer, so camp like a Girl Scout!
The first sessions for each topic are recommended for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors (grades K-5) and the second sessions are recommended for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors (grades 6-12), but all are welcome for each session!
