Summer Camp
Girl Scout Camp 2025
Hang Out & Be Happy!
Summer camp is a Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois tradition! At Girl Scout Camp, the clouds drift by and the smiles stay for a while. Our happy campers feel right at home in this supportive space that’s filled with fun, friends, and exciting new adventures.
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. Browse our 2025 Day Camp options!
Overnight Camps are offered to girls of all grade levels at Camp Torqua. 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.
