Hey Hey, Campers!
Can you believe it? Summer camp is already around the corner! Seeing you get pumped for the summer ahead — preparing to make new friends and dreaming up the lasting memories you'll create — inspires us to bring you the best camp adventures yet. While at summer camp, you'll experience joy and laughter, have space to express yourself, explore all the amazing things you can do, and feel supported by your Girl Scout sisters and staff. You won't want to say goodbye when it's over!
This year, there are so many new aspects of camp in store, including new activities, new programs, and even a new camp director! But the adventure isn't complete without you. Whether it’s your first summer with us or you’re returning for the sixth time, we can't wait to see you at camp!
See you soon Luna & Treble
