Registration Form

Both girls who are Girl Scout members and non-Girl Scouts are welcome to attend camp without regard to race, color, religion, national origin or socio-economic status.

Financial Aid

Thanks to the generosity of individuals, civic organization and foundations, financial aid to attend a GSRI summer camp program – day or overnight – is available for Girl Scouts who, without this assistance, would not be able to attend Girl Scout camp. Families applying for financial aid should expect to pay as much as they possibly can. Financial aid is only available for one session.

Since our funds are allocated on a first come, first served basis, we recommend you complete and mail the financial aid application and required documentation to GSRI as soon as possible. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Financial aid applications are evaluated on a rolling basis.

Day Camp

Each session of day camp is one week; each day is carefully planned to build on the lessons learned the previous day. Girls are placed in “units” according to their age and experience. Girls receive Red Cross swimming instruction on a daily basis, where facilities permit, and activities include outdoor cooking, canoeing, paddle-boating and hiking. Girls entering grades K-9 are welcome at day camp. Bus service to and from day camp is offered at just $15 for a one-week session.
