Discover How You Belong at Camp: Summer 2023!
WHEN A GIRL SCOUT
LEAVES HOME AND EMBRACES THE CAMP LIFE, SHE MEETS NEW FRIENDS AND
PEERS ON EVEN GROUND.
When campers sit around the campfire,
paddle a canoe, shoot a bow and arrow, or climb a natural rock wall
for the first time, something in them begins to change—they gain a
sense of pride by facing their fears, they learn new skills and learn
to make new friends. They come home with a spring in their step and a
new light in their eyes.
Camp is transformative.
At Girl Scout camp, campers ages 5–17 are encouraged to discover who
they are and what they can become while gaining independence and
self-confidence. Trained, caring staff respect and challenge campers,
and campers gain a better understanding of themselves and their
leadership potential. All Girl Scout camp programs are designed with
campers’ interests in mind to grow their passions and take healthy
risks in a safe, supportive environment.
Girl Scouts is proud to be the premier leadership organization for
girls in our country. Once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout. All Girl
Scouts are welcome to attend our summer camp programs, even if they
begin identifying as a gender other than girl. Campers who are on the
gender spectrum will share a sleeping shelter and all facilities with
other Girl Scouts- no separate housing will be provided.
Should any camper requiring special accommodations wish to attend
summer camp, we recommend that the parent/guardian reach out to Denise
Viau, Camping Services Manager (camp@gscnc.org), so that
accommodations similar to those employed at schools across the country
regarding changing, sleeping arrangements, and other travel-related
activities can be made. Thank you for helping us ensure that every
camper has a fun and enjoyable camp experience.
Winona is back! After a challenging three years, we are thrilled to
announce that Camp Winona will be returning this summer as a
traditional Sleep Away Camp. We still anticipate staffing three camps
will remain a challenge, however with the return of International
Staff hires and other internal work we are dedicated to opening three
camps this summer.
