GLEN CARBON – On camp time, Girl Scouts shine. These moments matter – from sparking up a campfire to counting the stars. Campers take on new challenges and discover new strengths, building bright futures while having the time of their lives. Smiles are sunnier, friendships form faster, dreams become bigger, and memories last forever. Time at Girl Scout Camp is time well spent!

Not a Girl Scout? No problem! Girls can join Girl Scouts now through an extended membership so they can enjoy camping this summer and transition right into the troop experience in the fall. It’s the perfect time to join!

Summer camp sessions are open for registration now. Choose from a variety of day camps, most of which are organized and ran by dedicated volunteers, throughout Southern Illinois. There are also lots of overnight camps to choose from. Our very own Camp Torqua in Edwardsville is home to most of our overnight camps, but an older girl expedition canoeing the Meramec River and a horseback riding camp in partnership with Greenville University are also available. Plus, we even have brand new family camp opportunities this summer!

For a full description and cost of each camp – and to sign up – please visit gsofsi.org/summercamp. Be sure to act fast; deadlines are quickly approaching! Fall 2026 grade levels are listed for each camp. Opportunity Funds are available.
