Girl Scouts has a long history of innovative camping activities for girls. Beginning with the purchase of the very first Girl Scout camp by Juliette Gordon Low nearly 100 years ago, GirlScouts has offered girls of all ages exciting and new opportunities during the summer months. This year is no exception for Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois (GSEIWI).



Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. At Girl Scout Camp, girls discover their interests in a safe, natural setting, connect to others and take action to make the world a better place through experiences that are girl led and involve cooperative learning and learning by doing. Our camps provide girls a supportive, safe environment where they are urged to expand their horizons and try new things. While girls learn new physical skills like swimming or horseback riding, they also learn life skills like teamwork, leadership, and self-reliance.



Camp opens up a world of new things for girls, only some of which are listed on the following pages. Please understand that the content of the program is only part of what she’ll learn. She will also learn how to be strong, how to be confident, how to live as part of a community, and she’ll have fun!



All four camps are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). Every three years, the ACA visits our camps to measure every facet of camp operation by a set of standards that are internationally recognized in

the camping industry. Our camps have earned this mark of distinction during the past four decades
