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 science, Candyland may be the perfect Week-long Day Camp for a master chef in the making; or To the Moon and Mars may be the Resident Camp for the astronaut in training in your life. Whichever camp themes she chooses, fun is sure to follow!
