For Campers

2008 Summer Camp

We are so excited about the summer camp opportunities we are offering girls in 2008. Girl Scouts of Western Ohio operates six overnight camps along with a wide array of day camps in all four regions of our new council.
You will find this website is divided by region although girls can attend any camp in any of the four regions just by submitting the camp registration form to the location indicated in each section.

Imagine the possibilities that these unique experiences can bring. Can't wait to see you at camp this summer!

What happens at Camp
Camp will be one of the most memorable times of your life. We believe that what you put into camp is what you get out of it. The harder you try the more fun you will have. Here are some key things to remember:

Pay attention at orientation
Learn your way around camp
Make friends
Stay busy
Try new things
Be creative
Set a good example

Camp Activities
As you might imagine, camps have all kinds of program offerings. Some camps may focus on one specific topic while others will offer a wide array of activities. Camps in which a camper would devote a majority of her time to one activity are often referred to as Specialty Camps. In these camps, staff and facilities are geared to provide an intensive experience in a single area such as art, horseback riding, gymnastics, sailing or wilderness. Naturally, these camps have other facilities and/or specialty staff that provide campers with additional experiences. A more traditional camp program tends to be broader in terms of what it offers.
Most general camps will provide programs in some team sports such as softball and soccer, individual sports like archery, swimming and sailing, as well as some outdoor life options in hiking and canoeing. Many of these camps also provide you with the opportunity to get additional instruction over the years in many of the areas that are offered. In making a decision about camp, it is important that you and your parents look into the total camp experience and that you choose the best camp for you!
