Each summer, thousands of children across Alabama beg their parents to attend summer camp to meet new friends and explore the great outdoors. But what parents may not know is Girl Scout summer camp involves so much more. The experience that your child will gain from camp is an experience of a lifetime. Camp activities are designed to provide opportunities to encounter new challenges, experience success, develop leadership, improve self-esteem and build life skills.
GSNCA runs camps throughout the state that hold summer resident and day camp. Each camp offers various activities such as canoeing, crafts, horseback riding and swimming that will let kids be themselves and explore different possibilities. Both day camps and resident camps are available; resident camps are available only to girls, while day camps are available for girls and boys.
Summer camp programs at GSNCA offer something for everyone in the following categories: Traditional Sampler, Traditional Specialty and Non-Traditional sessions. Click here for more information on the types of Camp Sessions.
At camp, everyone experiences healthy, outdoor activities that build courage, confidence and character (swimming, canoeing, hiking, horseback riding, archery, riflery, rock climbing, high ropes, outdoor skills, etc,) Everyone who comes to camp enjoys balanced meals with plenty of healthy choices while participating in activities that offer intentional opportunities for campers to practice decision making and teamwork.
