Camp and Outdoors

You’re a force of nature, Girl Scout.

And you are ready for more outdoor adventures.

Whether you’re discovering the wildlife in your own backyard, swimming in a lake for the first time at summer camp or being a citizen scientist and observing bees in your neighborhood park, every outdoor adventure grows your “I’ve got this” attitude. And once you unlock that confidence, you’ll aim as high as the stars you see outside your cabin window.

Camp Builds Confidence

Your gift can help us meet this year's increased demand for need-based financial assistance and help more Girl Scouts build community, connection, and confidence at camp.
