Summer Camp 2008

We are getting bigger! As part of Girl Scouts Wisconsin Southeast, you will have lots of summer opportunities to choose from. Look for TWO summer books coming to you this winter. You will receive one booklet all about day camp in your local area. The other book will have Alice Chester resident camp, Pottawatomie Hills resident camp, CyberChallenge, family events, summer troop events, and events for individuals. For resident camp, you can choose Camp Alice Chester or Camp Pottawatomie Hills.

  • For information about day camps in the New Berlin Service Center area (formerly Girl Scouts - Great Blue Heron), visit the day camp page for that legacy council.
  • For information about day camp in the Milwaukee Service Center area (formerly Girl Scouts of Milwaukee Area), visit the day camp page for that legacy council.

Parents/Guardians: Are you ready for camp?
Campers: Are YOU ready for camp?
Take this short, fun quiz to help you decide.

Online registration directions for:
Camp Alice Chester and Camp Pottawatomie Hills Resident Camps, and Univeristy CyberChallenge

Create a secure myCamp account with your email and a password of your choice. You then use that account to register for resident camp or summer leadership programs.
That same account can be used to register multiple campers from the same family.


  • Instant Confirmations! After you submit your payment information successfully, you will be registered for the programs you selected. You may get two email confirmations within minutes. For new accounts, one email will be to confirm your account setup. Another email will will be from Girl Scouts with your confirmation information (everyone should get this email). The confirmation email will explain how to download the confirmation information.
    NOTE: to ensure the safety of girls, directions to camp will be attached to the confirmation email and will not be posted on our website.
  • Once your online registration has been confirmed, you do not need to send registration forms to the Girl Scout office.
  • Use Internet Explorer as the browser (Firefox will not work), be sure to add gswise.org to your trusted list of e-mail addresses. Also, be sure that Javascript and cookies are enabled in the browser and that Popup blockers are disabled.
  • Registrations received with full payment by Tuesday, April 1 will receive an early bird discount.
  • Additional information needed for camp can be found on the Camp Files webpage.
NOTE: Be sure to have all emergency contact information, health history information and credit card or check information available before beginning. You will need that information to complete the process. If applying for Grants for Girls, send only that application to the Girl Scout office.

Registrations for programs will close two weeks before the session start date or when an event reaches capacity.
