Looking for Girl Scout fun this summer? Look no further! Camp is a special place of self-discovery, laughter, fun, making new friends, and a lifetime of memories. Girls learn and grow in a healthy, controlled environment -- they enjoy physical activity, perform daily living tasks, and plan their own adventurous program. Girls break-away from their home routine and create fun for themselves. They gain self-confidence and enjoy their shared independence.

 

GSSWT has offered quality program for more than 60 years. Each summer, trained camp staff and 1,000+ girls have fun and enjoy learning through well-planned activities. Your Girl Scout can choose from 59 different programs offered this summer at Camp La Jita and Camp Mira Sol.

 

It is not too late to register for summer fun -- check out GSSWT's Summer Camp Guide 2011 or visit girlscouts-swtx.org/camp for more details.
