Registration Information Registration
Girl Scout Cookie Credit
Summer camp registration opens February 22. Registrations will be accepted until a session is full, and sessions are on a first-come, first-served basis. Girls must be registered Girl Scouts at the time of registration. Visit our website to register.
Girl Scout Cookie Credit can be used to pay for summer camp (including the non-refundable deposit). Cookie Credit is non-refundable, unless a cancellation is requested due to a serious family emergency or illness, or a camp session is cancelled by GSMH. If you would like to use Cookie Credit but do not receive it by the time you register for camp, the deposit is still required. After your Cookie Credit is received you may apply it to the camp balance. If the amount of Cookie Credit used plus the amount of your deposit exceeds the total cost of your camp balance, you will receive a refund for the overage. Due to the volume of these requests, it may take up to four weeks to receive your refund.
Changes, Cancellations, and Refunds
A $40 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration for any in-person camp session. Each program session has a minimum number of campers required. If the minimum number of campers is not met, the session will be cancelled. Campers will have the opportunity to move their registration to another session, if possible. Camp registration fees, including the non-refundable deposit, will be refunded if a camp session is cancelled by GSMH and the camper cannot attend another session, or if a camper is unable to attend their session due to health reasons. To request a program session change, parents or guardians should contact GSMH at 877312-4764 or email info@girlscoutsmoheartland. org to see if the change is possible. All program session changes must be made at least two weeks before the camp program session starts. Changes requested after two weeks before camp program session starts will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If a camper fails the health screening upon arrival at camp, they will not be able to attend that session. Every effort will be made to place her in another camp session at a later date. If this is not possible, a full refund will be granted, less the non-refundable deposit. However, a refund will not be issued for cancellations made less than two weeks before their camp session, for no-shows, or if a camper leaves a session already in progress due to homesickness, behavioral issues, or parental request.
Financial Assistance To apply for financial assistance, please submit a 2022 Summer Camp Financial Assistance Request, found on our website. Financial assistance will only be granted for one session per camper, and does not cover the non-refundable deposit, which needs to be paid before the Financial Assistance Request is submitted.
Lost and Found Items All lost and found items will be sent to the nearest service center—Dexter or Springfield—where they will remain until the end of August. After August, all unclaimed lost and found will be discarded or donated to an appropriate charity. If you are missing something, please call or email 877-312-4764 or info@girlscoutsmoheartland.org. GSMH is not responsible for lost or stolen personal belongings, money, or any items left at camp.
Free Week of Camp The Free Week of Camp Certificate earned through the 2022 Girl Scout Cooke Program expires on August 5, 2022. Value cannot exceed $350. An email with instructions will be sent to to recipients. If you already paid the non-refundable deposit then the deposit will be refunded when you register for camp.
