All About Camp

Where We Roam This summer we’re embracing our adventurous spirits, roaming throughout the heartland, paddling the waters of Kansas, and following the paths in the stars. Camp life is the best life! Camp staff are counting the days until they see our campers again. Check out this issue of #Sisterhood to learn about the 27 council-led camp sessions happening this summer, as well as many spring events, volunteer-led and partnerled events, and a preview of several popular events for fall 2023.

Registration & Program Credits

Early registration opens for all council-led programs on February 1 with a $25 deposit per session. This season’s Program Credits become available on April 15 and will be applied to any camp balance due. Any remaining balance for early registration is due May 1. When registering for a session after April 15, Program Credits are automatically applied to registrations first and any remaining balance is due at the time of registration.

Campers who register for multiple council-led camp sessions will receive a $10 discount on each additional session.

Registration for partner-led and volunteer-led programs opens on April 15, with the full balance due at time of registration. The icons on the event pages can help you figure out who is leading an event. Partner-Led sessions have the partners logo next to the session.

Council-Led Volunteer-Led

Level Up

Campers are eligible to attend camps that are for the grade they are going into next fall. For example, a girl who is going into second grade can attend camps that are for or include Brownies. A camper who is going into fourth grade can choose from camps in the Junior age range. The official beginning of summer camp programs is May 15, so campers will attend spring sessions through May 14 as the grade they are finishing, and summer camps on or after May 15 as the grade they are going into.

Program Types

Youth members only: Just like it sounds, these events are for registered Girl Scouts only. Volunteers only: These training events are designed for Troop Leaders and other volunteers. Youth Members with chaperones: Each Girl Scout must have a chaperone in attendance – this can be a volunteer, parent, or guardian. Girl Scout family event: Event is open to family and friends of the Girl Scout member. All youth must be chaperoned. Public event: Open to everyone!

Refund Policy

You may cancel your reservation for an event or summer camp and receive a full refund, minus any deposit, if the request is received more than 14 days prior to the start of the session. Limited refunds will be given within 14 days of the program; see full refund policy on our website and attached to your Ultracamp confirmation email for specific refund scenarios. No refund is given if the camper is a no show or leaves a session early. Additionally, t-shirt or other optional purchases will not be refunded and travel may have an earlier refund date.

Financial Assistance

We never want finances to get in the way of having an amazing Girl Scout summer! Camperships are available! Scan the QR code to access the application. If you will travel more than 125 miles to attend a camp session, you may request funds through the campership program to assist with fuel costs.

T-shirts

All youth who register for any of the 27 councilled Girl Scout camps by May 1 will receive a camp t-shirt included with the price of camp; one per camper! Limited quantities of free camp t-shirts will be available first come, first serve after May 1. Chaperones may pre-purchase a camp t-shirt when registering for a session or purchase at a council shop or camp trading post.

Trading Post

streamline the check in process by pre-purchasing Trading Post bucks during registration! Cash will also be accepted at check in for sleepaway sessions and at Monday’s check in for day camp. Refunds of unspent trading post money will be applied to Ultracamp in August.
