Girl Scouts of North East Ohio Summer Camps
Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your girl’s next big adventure. The best part is, all girls are welcome – no Girl Scout experience necessary!
Girl Scouts are a force of nature. They were meant for outdoor adventures.
Your girl is ready to rediscover the world – to disconnect from technology and embrace the freedom of the woods, the sky and water.
If she loves the water, Splish Splash may be her perfect Day Camp, but if she loves science, maybe Friends of the Forest is the perfect Week-long Day Camp for the girl who’s eager to learn about animals and their native habitats! Stardust may be the Resident Camp for the astronomer in training in your life. Whichever camp themes she chooses, fun is sure to follow!
