Our Girl Scout camps give girls the opportunity to meet people of different backgrounds in a safe environment, without judgments and expectations of the outside world. In a community free of electronic devices, campers focus on interacting with one another in a natural setting. Resident camps typically last 6 days, with mini sessions lasting 4 days. Leadership camps can last up to 12 days. Troop and family camps are weekend camps that take place Friday through Sunday. NEW this year are two extended session Troop Camps!

A Day At Camp It’s a busy week at camp! Campers experience a variety of activities depending on the program they’ve selected. All campers enjoy engaging activities like cookouts, hiking, arts, crafts, songs & games. Within each session, girls and their counselors decide what activities they’d like to do that week. Each day’s events differ slightly, but a typical day at camp looks like this:
☙☙ Can you relax and enjoy yourself when your girl sleeps away from home?
6 - 7 AM 7:45 AM 8 AM 9:30 AM 12:30 PM 1:30 PM 2:30 PM 5:45 PM 6 PM 7:30 PM 9 - 10 PM

Camp Elliott Barker
Summer Horse Programs There are now two levels of horseback riding camps. Please choose the camp that is best suited to you/your camper to ensure their best experience. The lessons that are planned for the girls are based on the median riding ability of the total girls in the program.
Level 1: Beginner
These camps are for girls who have ridden less than 20 times by themselves. This includes in the arena, on the trail, taking lessons, etc. Girls will learn the basics from the ground up and spend time in the saddle getting comfortable with the horses. These camps are primarily offered at Barker as this property is better suited to beginner riders.
Level 2: Experienced
These camps are for girls who have ridden more than 20 times by themselves. Most likely they have taken or are taking lessons and are ready to try something new. Review the basics, practice in the arena, hit the trails, and maybe even take a horse overnight. Girls will spend barn time learning more about stable maintenance (feed, jobs, horse health, etc) in addition to riding. These camps are primarily offered at Rancho as this property is better suited to experienced riders.

Camp Care Packs Preparing a camp care package is a form of art. It reminds campers there are people at home sending them love and anxiously awaiting them to come home to tell them all about their camp adventures. A great camp care pack is stuff with all the things your camper didn’t think or maybe forgot to pack for camp! From things she needs, to rest time activities just for her, and a few things she can use with her new (and old!) friends. Let us do the hard work for you! Order a Camp Care pack for your Resident Camper today! Camp Care packs are delivered on Mondays after breakfast. Be sure to place your orders at least one week prior to your campers session! Visit www.nmgirlscouts.org/summercamp for details and to order yours today!

Transportation to resident camp Campers can opt into taking the bus one way or round trip to camp ($10 each way), or may arrive/depart camp via car. Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails offers bus transportation to both of our resident camps as a service to help get girls to camp safely and with as low a cost impact on families as possible. We will be enforcing a minimum occupancy for all buses to and from camp. In order for a bus to be scheduled, we must have at least 10 girls registered to ride the bus three weeks prior to camp. If there are not 10 girls registered, we will reach out to families and give them one (1) week to add the bus option. If this minimum is not met, the bus will be canceled. Families will be responsible for getting their girls to camp. All families will be given at least two week’s notice. Any fees paid towards the bus will be refunded if a bus is cancelled. Buses to both camps will start at the Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails council office in Albuquerque on the first day of each resident camp session and will make limited stops along the way to camp. Please note: If your girl is signed up to take the bus to/from camp, camp staff is expecting she will check in/out with the bus staff. You must notify council at least three weeks prior to your session start date to make changes to your travel plans. Refunds will not be issued for any cancellations made after this time.

Who are the camp counselors?
Have you ever thought about working at camp?
Members of camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring individuals selected based on maturity, program experience, and genuine desire to work with girls. All of our staff are interviewed, screened, and background checked. Program Specialists and counselors are at least 18 years old. Supervisors are at least 21 years old. Camp staff are from New Mexico, all over the U.S. and some even come from different countries around the world! Staff share their culture with campers and many are returning staff from pervious summers, some with as many as 20 years of camper and camp staff experience.
Check out opportunities for young adults 16 years old or older (horse staff, counselors, and program specialists) or professionals and retirees looking for a summer of adventure (supervisors, health professionals, and administrators). Visit www.nmgirlscouts.org/workatcamp
Before camp begins, staff attend an intensive on-site training as well as midsummer in-service training which includes activity programming, outdoor skills, songs, games, first aid and safety, emergency procedures, team building, program age level characteristics, dealing with homesickness, and more. Program Specialists have additional training and certification in their program area, such as archery, ropes course, and life-guarding. Certain program staff are also trained in wilderness first aid. We follow Girl Scouts Safety Activity Checkpoints and American Camp Association standards for all staff training and certification requirements.
