Whether you’re a first-time camper or a veteran seeking new adventures, you’ll find fun, friendship and memories to last a lifetime! Our summer resident and day camps offer a wide variety of options for all girls that include themed specialty activities as well as traditional camp activities. Girl Scout Camps feature unique leadership opportunities where girls build 21st century life skills that help them become leaders of tomorrow. They discover how to be independent and self-reliant, connect with others individually and as a team, and learn ways to take action to protect the planet’s natural resources. Girl Scouts is proud to be the premier leadership organization for girls in our country.

Girl Scouts of Central Maryland camps are open to youths who are recognized as girls by the family and school/community and who live culturally as a girl. Should any girl requiring special accommodations wish to attend summer camp, GSCM recommends that the parent/guardians reach out to Camp Director, Kelly Campbell (kcampbell@gscm.org), so that accommodations similar to those employed at schools across the country in regard to changing, sleeping arrangements and other travel-related activities can be made. Thank you for helping us ensure that every girl has a fun and enjoyable camp experience.
