ABOUT CAMP
Girl Scouts Heart of the South is proud to present our resident camps. Our mission for resident camp is to provide a caring, confident and creative environment that promotes self respect, friendships, life skills, and respect for others; all while enjoying fun-filled outdoor adventures. Heart of the South has worked hard to put together an amazing team of directors and counselors who will provide the ultimate camping experience for your daughter. Each camp is directed by a full time Heart of the South staff member and every camp counselor has been carefully screened and selected for their honesty, integrity, and their genuine concern for children. Camp sessions are scheduled from June 10 thru July 27 with age specific sessions designed to provide camp experiences for everyone from the first time camper to the experienced Counselor-in-Training. Sessions have been carefully crafted to help girls build courage by exploring new adventures and grow confidence by discovering their abilities. Girls will build a sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from taking age-appropriate risks under the watchful eye of experienced,trained and enthusiastic staff. We invite you to join us at one of our Camp Open Houses to see the possibilities that lie ahead for your daughter. During the open house events, we invite you to bring your family and spend a day enjoying all that our camps have to offer. Girl Scout camp is an incredible place where girls can discover, connect and take action in a girl-only setting.
