PREFERRED METHOD guaranteeing registration into the camp session.

Girl Scout Membership

Girl Scout membership is required for participation for all resident and day campers. All family campers must have at least 1 registered Girl Scout in attendance. Troop camping is only open to Girl Scout troops. Campers from other Girl Scout councils outside of GSNI are welcome to attend! Current non-Girl Scouts can register as Juliettes by visiting girlscoutsni.org and clicking “Girls Join!” and “Get Started Today.” Complete all information and at the “Ways to Participate” screen, search the word “camp” in the Troop # field, and select “Individually Registered Member.” If a non-Girl Scout is outside of GSNI’s council jurisdiction, or if registration assistance is needed, please contact Customer Care.

Program Age Requirements

Camp programs rely on progression. If a first time Daisy can participate at the same level as a Senior, what will draw her back to camp? Each activity is broken into levels ranging from easy to challenging with the idea that campers will progress through the stages over many years attending summer camp.

Summer camp programs reflect ages and grades for 2022–2023 school year. Please register your camper for the grade she will be entering for Fall 2022. Camp programs are structured around grade levels they are advertised for, and we ask to please refrain from registering your camper for an event for which she does not meet the age requirement. All day campers must complete kindergarten before attending and all resident campers must be entering appropriate

Paying for Camp

Camp is an amazing adventure for girls! We want to make sure any girl can attend camp at GSNI and offer several ways to offset the cost of camp: ⇨ If you register by April 1, 2022, you can save $25 on most camp registrations! ⇨ You can use GSNI vouchers/eCodes toward any council-sponsored camp session. However, these cannot be used toward the initial $100 non-refundable deposit or adult camper fees. Vouchers/eCodes include Cookie Dough, Cashew Cash, and S’more Dough earned through the Girl Scout Fall Product and Cookie Programs. ⇨ Gift cards purchased through GSNI’s Resource Centers can be gifted to campers and used towards camp. ⇨ A limited number of Camperships are also available. Please see our Camperships section.

Camperships

If your girl would love to attend camp as a camper but doesn’t have the resources to do so, we may be able to help! Families can apply for Camperships by paying the initial $100 deposit for camp and submitting a Campership application. Campership applications are due by March 1, 2022, and awards are granted after March 15, 2022. We recommend you send in the application as soon as you submit your online registration.

Financial assistance is available only to registered members of GSNI. Applications will not be processed without the deposit and registration form. All campers who apply for Camperships must participate in GSNI’s Fall Product

and Cookie Programs.

Day camp overnights, CIT programs, troop camps, and family camps are not covered by Camperships. Due to third party fees, camp sessions related to horses or off-site canoe lessons will be eligible for camperships offered as a discount on the total camp session cost. Campers can only apply for financial assistance for camp once during the 2022 camp season. If you wish to receive financial assistance for multiple sessions, one amount will be allotted and allocated across multiple sessions.

Selecting “Need Financial Assistance” on the Camp Registration form does NOT register you for financial assistance. For more information or to apply for a campership, please visit girlscoutsni.org/camperships.
