Welcome to Girl
Scout Camp!
 Camp is a unique place where girls have great adventures, learn new
skills and make friends - all while having the time of their lives!
Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME) believes every girl should have the
opportunity to attend summer camp. We recognize and value the
uniqueness of each girl and, while she is with us, it is our goal to
provide her with a safe place to live, work, and play in an
encouraging and supportive environment.
GSME operates four diverse camps, and each one offers programs
designed to meet many different interests. From the traditional
camping experience, to activities that focus on specific interests,
we provide programs that meet the age, ability and interest of every
girl.
Attending Girl Scout summer camp can be one of the most memorable
times in a girl’s life. Join us this summer at one of our fantastic
camps to experience the adventure, friendship, learning and fun that
is waiting there just for you.
