From paddle boards to horses, STEM to Harry Potter, GSWPA camps offer a variety of choices for every G.I.R.L.— the go-getters, innovators, risk-takers, and leaders who arrive at camp ready for adventure.

At camp, girls take the lead in a safe, supportive space where they’re free to explore, learn, and have fun. For more than a century, camping has been a cornerstone of the Girl Scout experience.
