Girl Scout Camp

 

 

We can’t contain our excitement.
There will be camp this summer!

Mark your calendar for the first day at Camp Amity Acres and Camp Sacajawea - Monday, July 13! We will also offer a #ThinkOutside Summer Program Series at home starting Monday, June 29.

More details to follow later this week. 

 

Girl Scout summer camp provides a vital building block to support girls’ growth and development, leading them to become successful, resourceful women. In an outdoor setting, girls discover a strong sense of self, gain practical life skills, become resourceful problem solvers, and cultivate healthy relationships.

Our two camps are Camp Amity Acres in Waretown/Barnegat, and Camp Sacajawea in Farmingdale. Both offer girls ages 3 to 15 unforgettable summer camp experiences that connect them to nature, build skills and foster friendship in a fun and safe environment.
