Camp at Home

Girl Scouts are always ready for a challenge and innovating creative solutions. While we couldn’t be together in a traditional setting, surrounding the campfire at Four Winds or zip lining at Starwoods, this year’s challenges offered a chance to explore new adventures. Camp at Home offered six weeks of unique Girl Scout summer programming for girls across Kansas, and beyond! Girl Scouts celebrated sisterhood and fun with camp sessions filled with songs, crafts, engaging activities, and community guests. With Camp at Home, Girl Scouts connected and engaged while earning badges, meeting new friends, and discovering the world through inspiring activities.

Peyton H. “I was so excited that even though I couldn’t go to overnight camp again this year, that I was still able to try so many great camps through Camp at Home. My favorite weeks were Hermoine’s Magical Adventure, Color Me Crazy: Messy Edition and Mermaid Mania. One of the highlights was having the opportunity to be paired with a pen pal. I had a great time learning to write letters and correspond with an older Girl Scout sister. ” - Girl Scout Ainsley

“I loved the crafts and hearing about all the other girls' experiences with Girl Scouts. I really liked doing the love the great outdoors patch work. I feel like this really helped with my confidence attending camp virtually.” - Girl Scout Peyton C.

"The concept of camp at home was a little overwhelming at first. I was worried I wouldn't get to interact and connect with others, like you do at camp. The more I got into each week, the more I was able to get the same feeling from in-person camp! I loved the various activities, crafts, recipes and experiences that Camp at Home was able to provide me this summer. Not to mention, I was able to earn badges along the way. I can't wait until next summer and camping, regardless of whether it is in person or at home." - Girl Scout Peyton H.

"I loved the activities. They were fun! I loved the colors in the messy camp. I had fun making the "lava lamp" too!" - Girl Scout Madeline Madeline
