Camp Like A Girl Scout

Girl Scout camp is the perfect place for campers to explore their interests, gain new experiences, and grow into confident leaders. Plus, they’ll have a blast and make amazing new friends! Every camp session is a one-of-a-kind experience; campers take the lead and enjoy their dream camp experience with support from professional, trained camp staff. Visit gsema.org/camp to learn about each of our camps and our camp directors!

Campers are placed in groups of 4–24, with 2–5 staff per group. Overnight campers stay in yurts (4–6 campers), tenta-los (5 campers), or platform tents (4–6 campers) with cots/ beds and mattresses. Each camp has shelter for rainy day activities, bathroom facilities, storage, and a health center.

Girl Scout-led. Girl Scout-tested. Girl Scout-approved.

At Girl Scout camp, campers feel comfortable trying new things, testing their limits, and acquiring new skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Every camp activity under the sun (and moon).

Campers can fill their summer with sailing, swimming, hiking, biking, science, sing-alongs, campfires, cooking, high ropes courses, visual arts, performing arts, day trips, overnight trips, and so much more!

A choice of where, when, and how to experience camp.

The choice is yours: white sands or green hills, relaxation or challenge, day or overnight camp. Join us for a few days or for the whole summer— come by yourself or with a buddy, and make new friends to last a lifetime.

Not a Girl Scout yet? No problem! Prior Girl Scout or troop membership is not required.

Making Memories that Last a Lifetime

A

community like no other.

Campers find the courage within themselves to meet new people, make friends, and bond. It’s a safe place for them to learn individual responsibility, work as part of a team, and develop their leadership skills.

A highly-trained team of role models excited to work with youth.

We train our staff from around the world to work with youth, teach and share important skills, and be part of a team. Many of our staff return year after year to help and create new memories and are committed to the values of Girl Scouting.

From the most trusted name in girl leadership.

Campers have been creating summer memories at Girl Scout camps for nearly a century in eastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire. All of our camps are accredited by the American Camp Association, and comply with state regulations governing summer camps and local licensing requirements.

Getting Ready for Camp

Be Prepared

Visit the Girl Scout Shop in Waltham for all your camper’s needs. Trading Posts at each camp will also have fun camp items as well as limited quantities of adult-size camp apparel for sale. See the next page for a simple camp packing list!

If you would like to use your Cookie Credits for overnight camp Trading Post items (summer 2025), please mail it by June 15, 2025 to: GSEMA Summer Camp, Attn: Cookie Credits, 265 Beaver Street, Waltham, MA 02452. Cookie Credits will not be accepted at the overnight camp properties.

Be sure to preorder camp T-shirts and hoodies when you register for camp to ensure your camper gets the right size. Youth sizes are only available for preorder. Keep an eye out for deadlines for your camp apparel this spring. Announcements will be made via email to all families.

Getting Ready for Camp

Camp Essentials (and

Nonessentials)

Are you ready for the best summer ever? We’ve assembled a list of all the essentials (and nonessentials) you’ll need to bring with you or leave at home. Whether you are attending camp during the day or overnight, we want you to have the best experience possible.

Pro Tips:

• Write your Girl Scout’s name on their clothing and personal items. This makes it a lot easier for lost and found items to make their way back to its owner.

• Make sure your Girl Scout is comfortable in their camp clothing and using their camping gear. Many essential items can be found at our Waltham retail store.

• For overnight camp, we suggest that families pack for camp in a large plastic tote or duffel bag rather than using many small bags. It can also be helpful for Girl Scouts to have complete outfits packed in Ziploc bags within their luggage. Please note: campers may need to help move their luggage, so please pack accordingly.

Bus transportation is included in the cost of day camp. Bus stop locations and times for each camp are included in this guide. To register for bus transportation, complete the Day Camp Transportation Form, which is available in your CampInTouch account and on the Campanion app, by May 1, 2025. Bus transportation pick-up procedures are on page 11.

Health and Safety Guidelines

Gender Inclusion at Summer Camp

GSEMA pledges our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as an ally and advocate for underserved and/or underrepresented members of our community, regardless of race/ethnicity, disabilities, LGBTQ, sexual orientation, national origin, age, religion, or socioeconomic status.

With this commitment, GSEMA welcomes non-binary youth and transgender boys in addition to anyone who identifies as a girl. As a youth-serving organization, our priority is the safety and well-being of the young people in our community. Troop leaders, families, and GSEMA staff can work together to support and empower non-binary and transgender youth within Girl Scouting.

We invite campers to be themselves at camp. To learn more about gender inclusion at GSEMA summer camps, please explore our Camp Culture Code. This resource will help prepare campers and their families for some of the unique questions, concerns, and opportunities for inclusion that come up in the space of camp.

Health and Safety Guidelines

Camp Safety Guidelines

We follow all safety and risk management guidelines set by the local, state, and federal boards of health, Girl Scouts of the USA, and the ACA. All of our camps are ACA accredited. Massachusetts camps comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (105 CMR 430.000), New Hampshire camps comply with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services Rules (HeC 4003 & 4004), and each camp is also licensed by the board of health of the town in which it is located.

Staff Selection, Screening, and Training

All staff are at least 16 years of age or high school graduates, and are selected based on their ability to work with youth, teach and share skills, and work as a team, as well as their commitment to Girl Scout values. We conduct thorough staff criminal background (CORI) and sexual offender (SORI) checks. Once hired, staff attend one to two weeks of training to bond as a team and gain skills in camping, risk management, safety, positive youth development, and interpersonal communication.

Day Camp Bus Transportation

Campers taking the bus must be picked up at the selected bus stop by an authorized pick-up person. We cannot accept notes from caregivers to have campers walk home from the bus stop alone. You can log into CampInTouch to update your list of those who are authorized to pick up your camper by May 1, 2025. Please include their names and phone numbers. Everyone picking up a camper from the bus must show a photo ID.

Pre-Camp Health Assessment

Required health forms are provided in the Camper Information Packets and in your CampInTouch account. Campers are required to have a physical health examination signed by a physician and completed after January 15, 2024. Parents/guardians will also need to complete the online Health History and Medication Administration forms. All forms are due on May 1, 2025.

Care of Mildly Ill Campers

A healthcare supervisor (HCS) staffs the camp health center and a healthcare consultant (local physician) is on call. Staff is responsible for reporting any signs of illness to the HCS, who assesses each situation, and may administer over-the-counter medications if authorized by the caregiver. The HCS will determine if the camper should be sent home or seen by the healthcare consultant, in which case arrangements are made with the oversight of the camp director. In both situations, caregivers are contacted as soon as possible.

Campers with Special Needs

We make every attempt to offer summer camp opportunities to all youth who want to attend Girl Scout camp. We can accommodate most special needs and dietary restrictions/preferences. Please email customercare@gsema.org to arrange a meeting with a member of our camp team to discuss how we can make your camper’s experience exciting, appropriate, and fulfilling. The information you share with us will be held confidential, shared only as HIPAA allows, and in accordance with your wishes.

Weapons, Drugs, and Smoking Policy

We do not permit recreational drugs, alcohol, pets, tobacco products, or weapons of any kind (e.g. Swiss army knives, scissors, etc.) at camp. Campers who will need to take prescription medication while attending camp should bring them to camp in their original containers with their names on them, and turn them over to the bus monitor or healthcare supervisor upon arrival to the bus or camp.

Your Rights

To comply with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local boards of health, we inform you that caregivers have the right to request a copy of our background checks policy, camp healthcare policies, and discipline policies, as well as policies for filing grievances. To make an appointment to do so, contact customercare@gsema.org.

Stay Connected

When you register your Girl Scout for camp, you will receive News You Can Use, a monthly camp email, from February through May. Please be sure that your email address in CampInTouch is accurate. In addition to these emails, we will also communicate updates on our website, social media, and the Campanion App.

New Mobile Experience for Caregivers: Campanion

Campanion is a mobile app that connects you with your child’s camp experience through a personalized stream of content. From simplified form uploads, photo galleries, regular updates from camp, and more, Campanion connects you to camp like never before. Features include:

▶ Mobile Camper Forms

Caregivers can view the list of forms that are required in order to finish their camper’s registration and enrollment. Most forms can be completed online. Paper forms, like the annual physical form, can be uploaded using a camera phone and the Campanion app.

▶ Face Finder

An optional tool to deliver campers’ photos directly to their loved ones. Caregivers can upload a training photo of their child, which the system catalogs into its database. As photos are uploaded from camp, Face Finder compares the unique facial characteristics that it learned from the training photo with each new photo. If there’s a match, the camper’s caregiver receives a notification and the photo shows up directly in their stream within the Campanion app.

▶ Photo Gallery

Photos are stored within albums, making it easy to find and view images such as favorites or from different activities at camp. Caregivers can tap, swipe, and browse camp albums directly from their phone.

GET STARTED TODAY!

• Download the Campanion app

• Login with your CampInTouch account (email and password)

• Upload a reference photo of your camper

• Complete forms online and upload completed paperwork

• Ensure you have push notification enabled within your phone settings so you can receive important updates from camp all year long!

Day Camp

Leadership Programs

Day Camp Leadership Program

GSEMA’s Day Camp Leadership Program starts for campers entering grade 7. The program is designed so campers build their knowledge year after year until they are old enough to apply to be camp staff. Campers must wait until the following summer before attending the next level in the program.

The first step is Program Aide I (PA I), where campers learn the basics of helping out younger campers, understanding age characteristics, and more. The following year campers are eligible for Program Aide II (PA II), where they deepen their knowledge of what it means to be a leader.

The third step in the program is to become a Day Camp Assistant (DCA). Before becoming a DCA, a camper must have completed PA I and PAII. All campers registering for the DCA program will be put on a waitlist to start so that we may verify they have completed the necessary training. DCA campers should expect to move off the waitlist within two weeks of registration.

The final step in the leadership journey is the Junior Counselor Program, the most fun internship ever! Get in-depth, on-the-job experience and training as you work alongside the counselors in units. All campers will be placed on a waitlist and will receive an application. Additionally, an interview will take place with all applicants in the spring.

Leadership Programs

Overnight Camp Leadership Program

GSEMA’s Overnight Camp Leadership Program is referred to as Counselor in Training (CIT) and starts for campers entering grade 11. The program is designed so campers build their knowledge and gain skills year after year until they are old enough to apply to be camp staff.

The first step is Counselor in Training (CIT). Under the guidance of camp staff, CITs will learn about age level characteristics, teaching techniques, how to keep younger campers engaged and more. CITs will also get a chance to practice their skills while working with younger campers. In addition, CITs will work with their fellow CITS on their leadership development, learning what style best suites them and how to work as a team.

The next step for CIT I graduates is Counselor in Training II for those entering 12th grade. This is a more in-depth, on-the-job experience and training. They will work with counselors in units and specialty areas and build on the skills they learned in CIT I. All CIT II applicants need to fill out an application and they will be waitlisted until applications are reviewed and approved. CIT IIs will also have an interview with Camp Director or Leadership Specialist to talk more about the program and expectations while at camp.
