Area Girl Scout camps offer a variety of programs

The Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay Council offers camps at four locations in Delaware and Maryland.

Summer camp is a place where girls can challenge themselves, learn new skills, try new things and have fun.

The council offers a variety of activities and programs to choose from including science, technology, space exploration, swimming, hiking, horseback riding, sailing, boating, making s’mores, outdoor survival and so much more.
