We also follow the standards established by the American Camp Association.

WHY GIRL SCOUT CAMP?

Girl Scout camp is all about girls! In a supportive, fun environment girls learn to work together as a team, make decisions, and take responsibility for their actions. They develop their creative abilities, build independence and self-reliance, learn new skills, and gain confidence.

At River Valleys Girl Scout Camp girls will discover, connect, and take action as they develop hands-on leadership skills. Camp offers a framework for girls to create their own experiences, reflect on them, and apply what they learn to new challenges. Above all, girls gain leadership skills through activities that match what they say they want: to belong and to have fun.

Discover at camp:
• New things about yourself
• New activities and skills

Connect at camp:
• With life skills and activities that interest you from beginner to expert level as you continue in Girl Scouts and camp.
• With people, customs, and beliefs from around the world

Take Action:
• Make decisions about how you’ll live with a group and what you want to do at camp
• Come home with skills/ideas/activities to continue to learn more about yourself and face daily life challenges

ALL GIRLS WELCOME

Girl Scout summer camp is about being with old friends and making new ones. Girls are welcome to bring friends from their school, their neighborhood, or anywhere! Girls who are not yet a registered Girl Scout are welcome to attend any of our camps. Just send the $10 membership fee in with the camp registration form. This will be applied to an annual membership in the Girl Scouts.

TALENTED AND CARING STAFF

With our thorough selection process and quality training, you can have peace of mind knowing your camper is in good hands. Selection of camp staff is based on experience, the ability to serve as a role model, and a genuine desire to work with girls. All staff members must complete a comprehensive screening process which includes an interview, reference checks and a background check.

GRANTS FOR GIRLS

We believe all girls to experience the benefits of participating in our camp programs. In order to make our camps available to all girls, we offer the Grants for Girls program. If your family is in need of financial assistance, we encourage you to apply for a grant.
