Resident Camp

At Girl Scouts of Central Maryland’s summer resident camp, girls can spend their summer on horseback, practice and enhance their archery skills, enjoy nights in the Conowingo backcountry, travel to amusement and dinosaur parks, snorkel with aquatic life, embark on a Dungeons and Dragons quest, and so much more! While we have plenty of adventures scheduled, campers will still have plenty of time to enjoy their favorite camp activities like spending time in the pool, singing camp songs, sitting around the campfire, and making crafts. And, the all-girl environment encourages girls to develop leadership skills and grow their independence while having fun with friends old and new. Girls are sure to have a great adventure at our summer resident camp!

*Registration for summer resident camp begins: January 26th, 2023 at 8 am. Click the session dates tab to see the session offerings for this year.

Additionally, campers will participate in other camp activities as time allows.
