Summer Camp
Girl Scout Camp 2024
Girl Scout Camp is just the place to let loose, live it up, and laugh out loud.
Summer camp is a Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois tradition! Girls will explore leadership, build skills, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Whether for a day, a weekend, or longer, Girl Scout camp gives girls an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun!
Day Camp is for girls in kindergarten and above, with activities on two or more consecutive days for three hours or more. Girl Scout Day Camp is held in a variety of locations across southern Illinois. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Day Camps vary in length and age groups served. Check out our 2024 Day Camps!
Overnight Camps are offered to girls entering into second grade and up. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Overnight Camps are girl-led, meaning girls will plan many of the activities with their counselors/volunteers, taking advantage of the resources available at the campsite. Check out our 2024 Overnight Camps!
