Day Camps by Community
Enjoy five days of fun in communities near you!
Sessions at these completely volunteer-led camps are for five days at Camp Alice Chester in East Troy, Camp Silver Brook in West Bend, Chinook Program Center in Waukesha, or Trefoil Oaks Program Center in Kenosha, and are perfect if you're looking for a way to get involved with your local Girl Scout community by yourself, with a friend, or with your troop! You'll participate in progressive activities so you can continue to learn new skills as you grow! These sessions are run by adult volunteers from each family and/or troop (including you!) and trained teens to help create the best camp experience for Girl Scouts in your area.

LEARN MOREEach team of volunteers and Girl Scouts will spark your curiosity as you take part in this beloved summer tradition. You’ll keep cool with water fun, explore nature, get creative with art projects, and challenge yourself as you learn new outdoor skills. In our girl-only environment you’ll feel comfortable trying new things and empowered to take the lead.
New Friends
Fun! Giggles! Friends! Above all, our goal for you is to have a terrific time. You will meet new people, try different activities, and have fun playing and learning outdoors. Campers will build their courage and confidence while making new friendships and learning alongside other Girl Scouts.
Skill Progression
Camp activities are age-based and progressive. This means that younger campers start off with easier and more manageable versions of certain traditional camp activities like outdoor skills or archery. Progressive activities give campers an opportunity to build up their skills and confidence before aging into more challenging activities. An example of our skill progression: to teach targeting skills, Girl Scout Daisies or Brownies may learn how to use sling shots, Girl Scout Brownies or Juniors may learn how to target the bullseye with bows and arrows, and older Girl Scouts may perfect their skills with hatchet throwing.
Volunteer Together
Trade a day at work for a day with your Girl Scout! For each day of camp, one adult is needed for every five to eight Girl Scouts. That means adults from each family and/or troop are needed to volunteer one or more days to create the best camp experience. Spend a day or two (or five) volunteering at camp and make memories that will last a lifetime. You can recruit aunts, uncles, grandparents, college students, past campers, and friends to join in on the summer fun.
We need volunteers like you!
Day Camps by Community are volunteer-led. Your presence makes a difference.
