All girls welcome at Western Kansas Girl Scout summer camps

Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland

WICHITA–Adventure awaits this summer with Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland. Camp registration is now open, and all K-12 girls are welcome at the 111 summer camps and activities offered through Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland.

Camping, a Girl Scout tradition since 1912, gives girls the opportunity to develop leadership and outdoor skills, lifelong friendships, and a deep appreciation for nature. From day camps to weeklong adventures, camping in cabins or under the stars, Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland offers a variety of activities to fit girls’ interests through the council’s six camp locations and partner camps across Kansas.

Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland is committed to providing camp opportunities for every girl, regardless of her financial situation. Thanks to the generosity of donors, camp scholarships are available. Girl Scout camps provide the opportunity for all girls to develop a sense of responsibility, become more independent, and most importantly, have fun.

Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland’s camp season is June 1 through July 31. For registration and a complete list of summer activities, go to kansasgirlscouts.org, flip through the online Summer Guide, or call 1-888-686-MINT (6468). Here are some of the upcoming Girl Scout camps across the state:
