Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast Summer Camps

Girl Scout summer camps are a great way for you to seek challenges, explore on adventures, learn new skills, make new friends, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE) has four unique camp options so you can choose your own adventure!

Which camp is right for you?

• Day Camps by Community: Sessions at these completely volunteer-led camps are for five days in East Troy, West Bend, Waukesha, or Kenosha, and are perfect if you’re looking for a way to get involved with your local Girl Scout community by yourself, with a friend, or with your troop. You’ll participate in progressive activities so you can continue to learn new skills as you grow! Volunteer to go to camp with your Girl Scout for a day (or more!) to create the best camp experience for Girl Scouts in your area.
• GSWISE Day Camp: Sessions are for five days in East Troy and are perfect if you want to experience camp during the day and return to the comforts of home at night. Sessions are focused on themes in creative arts, STEM, nature exploration, first aid, and sports and games.
• Camp Alice Chester Overnight Camp: Sessions are two+ nights in East Troy—you’ll sleep in a troop house, A-frame cabin, or platform tent and enjoy traditional camp activities, as well as horse programs, leadership programs, and climbing/paddling trips away from camp.
• CampHERO: This five-night session is perfect for grades 7-12 who are curious about a future career as a first responder. You’ll receive hands-on training from professionals in law enforcement, fi re suppression, and emergency medicine. You’ll work alongside professionals at the Milwaukee Area Technical College Oak Creek campus during the day and spend your nights sleeping indoors at Trefoil Oaks Program Center in Kenosha.

What can I expect at Girl Scout summer camp?

• Make new friends: You’ll laugh, get silly, and make new besties with other Girl Scouts.
• Be yourself: Forever friendship is a powerful thing. It’s what makes you feel safe to try new things, be confident, and cheer each other on.
• Tune into nature: Explore on a hike, soak up the sun, climb to new heights, and jump into the refreshing lake water – you’ll enjoy the present and appreciate the great outdoors.
• Grow your grit: Whether you try archery, cooking over a campfire, or paddling solo on the water, you’ll test your strengths and learn that you’re tougher than you think.
• Gain independence: You’ll have time to try new activities that will make you more self-reliant, confident, and able to discover new interests.
• Have fun: Whether you’re exploring new passions or digging into ones you already love, you’ll discover joy and learn what will bring happiness to your life for years to come.
