Day Camp

Day Camp is an opportunity for girls to experience the great outdoors in a 5-day camp session. Girl Scouts of Ohio’s Heartland hosts day camps at locations throughout our council. Most Day Camp hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During this time activities may include flag ceremonies, songs, games, hiking, crafts, camp fire cooking, and nature study. Trained Girl Scout adult volunteers facilitate the week long activities. For more information, including FAQs, please see About GSOH Day Camps.

Day Camp is available to all girls who have completed kindergarten and up (non-Girl Scouts may attend if they pay an extra fee to become registered members). Girls can register individually or with a buddy, but Day Camp is not a troop activity. There are also opportunities for teenage girls to complete leadership hours as a Day Camp PAL (Program Aide Link/Leader) or APL (Advanced Program Leader).
