Summer Camp

Our Summer Camps give campers the opportunity to meet people of different backgrounds in a safe environment, without judgments and expectations of the outside world. In a community free of electronic devices, campers focus on interacting with one another in a natural setting.

Each of our camps provides a unique experience and come with their own fun-filled activities that will leave Girls wanting more outside adventure time!

Financial Assistance: We believe that every girl should have the opportunity to go to Summer Camp. GSCSNJ offers Council Cares to those who need assistance paying for camp. Please complete the Council Cares Form and send to customercare@gscsnj.org to start the process. All applicants for Summer Camp financial assistance must be current registered members of Girl Scouts.

Early application is recommended.

All applications are confidential. Awards are based on need and availability of funds. Awards will not be granted when there is an outstanding debt to GSCSNJ. Awards are non-transferable.
CampDoc Information: CampDoc.com is the electronic health record management system we utilize during summer camp. It will help us consolidate and integrate camper health information into a centralized and secure location. The CampDoc system will give our Health Supervisors and Nurses instant access to camper health information, a key component in providing patient care. Families who used the CampDoc system last summer will not have to re-enter all of the camper’s information. All you have to do is update and make any necessary corrections.

The security, confidentiality, and privacy of your campers’ personal health information will always be protected. The CampDoc.com site is secure, encrypted, and password protected.

You will receive a “Welcome E-mail” from CampDoc.com with information about how to set up your account and complete your camper's health information within 2 weeks of your registration being processed.

If you have any questions regarding CampDoc, please email cwyand@gscsnj.org.

CampDoc Tip: Make sure to set register@campdoc.com as a “safe sender” to avoid accidental delivery of emails from CampDoc to junk and spam folders.
Camp Leadership Program: Are you a girl going into 9th grade and looking for an exciting new opportunity at one of our summer camps? Our Camp Aide Training (CAT) is a leadership training program in camp programming and outdoor skills. In addition to outdoor skills, the CAT program provides an opportunity to grow interpersonal skills, group leadership, and creativity.

The CAT program is offered during the final two weeks of camp at all three of our summer camp locations. Full program participation and competency in outdoor skills and the ability to work with the younger campers is required to pass this two-week course.

Once you have completed (and passed) the CAT program, you are welcome to come back to camp next year as a Camp Aide!

Interested in becoming a Camp Aide? Register online or through the mail and select which weeks you are available to be at camp. The Leadership Coordinator or Camp Director for which ever camp you selected will get in touch with you with more information once camp gets closer.
Cancellation Policy & Transfer Requests: GSCSNJ Camps must receive a written request for cancellation and refund no later than 30 days prior to your camp begin date in order to receive a refund, minus the non-refundable $50 deposit per program.

Campers who cancel due to medical reasons within 30 days of the first day of their camp session are required to submit a Doctor’s note in order to receive a refund, minus the non-refundable $50 deposit per program.
