GSHG Summer Camp Guide 2026

Arrival & Check-In: Starting the Journey

Luggage When you arrive to the check-in area at camp, unload your camper’s luggage and place it in their designated unit area. Team members will transport your camper’s luggage to their cabin. Please note: Keep camper medications with you until you meet the camp nurse, and a have a water bottle with you at all times.

Camper Check-in Camp staff will meet you at the start of the check-in process to go over any last minute details of your camper’s stay.

Wellness Screening Proceed to the wellness screening station for the in-depth wellness check-in required before each camp session. This includes looking at their feet and hands, talking to them about how they have been feeling, and checking for head lice.

Camp Nurse Touch Base Visit the camp nurse station to answer any questions and go over your camper’s needs regarding prescription medications and the list of over-the-counter medications you authorized on the Health History Form.

Trading Post Check-in Each camp has a designated trading post where campers can purchase snacks and fun merchandise. On average, campers visit the trading post once a day to stock up on goodies and spend about $25 throughout the week.

See you Friday! Before you give your camper a final hug and check her in with her counselor, stop by our photo booth for a family picture. Once done, your camper will head to her Unit to pack into her cabin and meet her Unit Family.

Mail Drop We’re happy to deliver care packages, notes, and treats to your Girl Scout! Drop letters or packages for your camper with our mail team before heading out. Please label packages with child’s full name and the day you would like it delivered.
