Sleep-Away Camp
When a girl embraces the camp Life, She
meets new friends, takes on adventure,
And makes memories for a lifetime.
As she sits around the campfire, paddles a canoe, shoots
a bow and arrow, or climbs a natural rock wall for the first
time, something in her begins to change. She gains a sense
of pride by facing her fears, and she grows as a person by
learning new skills and becomes stronger and happier by
making new friends.
She comes home with greater self-confidence and a new
light in her eyes. Camp is transformative. At camp, girls
ages 5–17 are encouraged to discover who they are and
what they can become while gaining independence and
self-confidence. Trained, caring staff respect and challenge
them, and girls gain a better understanding of themselves and their leadership potential. All camp
programs are designed with girls’ interests in mind, so they can grow their passions and take healthy
risks in a safe, supportive environment. Whether it’s her first time at camp, or she’s a seasoned pro,
everyone is accepted, encouraged, and fully embraced for their uniqueness. The sisterhood and
.............................................................................
lifetime bond that comes from living the camp life cannot be beat!
For Girls, By Girls: Girl Scout Camp
A key benefit of being a Girl Scout is having access to our beautiful camps. In a girl-led, girl-friendly
environment, girls challenge themselves and take healthy risks,
surrounded by supportive friends and camp staff. When girls
spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure to
nature, they thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually. And
that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts get
outside:
•They discover that they can better solve problems and
overcome challenges.
•They develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and are
happier overall.
•They become team players and care more about protecting
our environment.
Girl Scouts believes in getting girls outdoors. Our summer camps
.............................................................................
allow girls to unplug from their smartphones, laptops, TVs, and tablets, and get outside to enjoy nature.

Sleep-Away Camp General Information
Financial Assistance
Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital strives to make camp available to all girls regardless of economic situation.
•Sleep-Away Camp: Financial aid is available for one sleep-away camp program per camper per summer.
To apply for financial assistance, first secure your camper’s space by registering for the program and session
of choice and paying the $50 registration deposit. After registration, please apply for financial assistance by
completing our online application available at www.gscnc.org/sleepawaycamp. Please note, the online
application will not be available until after registration opens January 14, 2020.
•Summer Day and Evening Camp: Financial aid is available for one day or evening camp per camper per
summer. To apply for financial assistance, please go to gscnc.org/dayandeveningcamp to complete the
online application and see full details for the financial aid process. All summer day and evening camp financial
aid applications must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to the date you would like to apply for
camp.
Please complete one request per camper. All application information is confidential. Questions? Contact
customercare@gscnc.org.
Camp Facilities
We have glen shelters at all four camps. A glen shelter is a wooden structure with
four screened sides, a wooden roof, and a wooden floor. Depending on their size, glen
shelters will sleep four to six campers. Platform tents are located at Camp Coles Trip
and Camp May Flather.
Platform tents have wooden floors with a large canvas tent secured over a wooden
frame. Most platform tents sleep four to six campers. Facilities also include a dining
hall, kitchen, camp office, health center, arts & crafts building, and a central shower
house. Potomac Woods, Winona, and May Flather have swimming pools, while Coles Trip has river access.
Bus Transportation
Hop on the bus for a ride to camp that’s fun for girls and easy for parents!
For just $50 one-way or round trip, parents can save time and gas, while girls enjoy singing
songs, chatting and bonding with sister campers. We have two bus stops: Montgomery
County, MD and Fairfax County, VA. The Maryland Bus stop serves Camp May Flather and
Winona every full week of camp (Sun. – Fri.). The Virginia bus stop serves Camps Potomac
Woods, May Flather, and Coles Trip every full week of camp (Sun. – Fri.) and will serve Camp Winona for 4
weeks this summer (June 21-26, July 12-17, July 26-31, and Aug 9-14).
Camp Staff
Camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We recruit both
regionally and from around the world, and carefully select staff based on maturity, program skills, experience,
and their ability to serve as role models. A health manager is in residence at the Health Center and all staff
must attend an intensive pre-camp training session, including safety, activity planning, camper care, team
building, and much more. Staff members who supervise high-adventure activities such as the pool, water
sports, challenge course, archery, caving, and other areas
receive additional training and certifications.
Meals
Food service professionals prepare all our meals except for cookouts (campers prepare that!), and menus
are planned with hungry, growing girls in mind. At camp, we provide kid-friendly food for all our campers,
consisting of foods like chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, tacos, pizza, and more. All meals
include fresh vegetables and fruits, and our food service staff can meet most special dietary needs.

How to Register for Summer
Camp Programs
Camp sessions fill up very quickly. We receive many phone calls and emails on opening days of
registration. Please check your account information at least one week prior to the opening day using
the checklist below to help make registration go more smoothly. For assistance at any point in this
process, please contact our Customer Care team by email: registration@gscnc.org or phone: 202-237-
1670.
Visit gscnc.org and click eBiz (located in the top right corner of our home page). You’ll need to
make sure you know the following for registration:
•Login Information: (username and password). If you have previously registered your camper for
summer camp or a Council event, your login is the same. Contact our Customer Care team if you have
trouble accessing your account, or if your camper’s Girl Scout membership is with a different council.
Once you login to your account, please check the following:
•Contact Information: Email any changes to your contact information to registration@gscnc.org.
•Your camper’s Guardian 1: Only your camper’s Guardian 1 will be able to register them for
camp - not the troop leader, Guardian 2, or family manager. If you need to update this, please email
registration@gscnc.org.
When registration opens, login and click Activities to find all our summer camp offerings.
•Search for your desired camp: Use the search box on the right side of the page to type in the camp
program name.
•Click the camp program name in the listings in the center of the page. You may need to click the
arrow button near the bottom of the page to go to the next page of listings.
•Register for camp! If you have any problems during the registration process, please contact
registration@gscnc.org.
Remember, campers must register for the program units based on the grade they are currently
in for the 2019-2020 school year.
.............................................................................
Cancellations/Refund
The $50 registration deposit is non-refundable. The remainder of the camp fee (excluding the deposit)
will be refunded if:
•The camper withdraws, and Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital receives a written request at least five weeks
prior to the start of the camper’s session.
•The camper leaves camp due to an illness or injury, and Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital receives a written
request for a refund within two weeks of her return home. The refund will be prorated on a per diem
basis.
If a camper leaves early due to behavior, missing home, or parent request, no refund will be
provided.
If a program is cancelled and no alternate program is available, you will receive a full refund.
Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital reserves the right to cancel any program listed due to insufficient
enrollment or other extenuating circumstances. Alternate programs or refunds will be offered.

For Girls, By Girls:
Girl Scout Camp
Girls with Special Needs
Each year, many campers with special needs participate in summer camp programs alongside other
campers of their age. If your camper has medical, physical, developmental, social, or other special
needs, we encourage you to work with us to find her the most appropriate camp program. Please
contact Denise Viau, Camping Services Manager at customercare@gscnc.org or 202-274-3308,
before registering your camper to discuss options and to ensure that your camper finds the camp and
program that best suits her needs.
Non-Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital summer camp programs are open to all girls completing grades K-12. See
specific sleep-away and day and evening camps for grade or age restrictions per camp or programs.
Any girl who is not a current member is welcome to attend our programs, but they must register and
become a Girl Scout Nation’s Capital member. The registration fee is $25. You must register at least
24-hours before registering for camp. To register as a member, please go to our website
www.gscnc.org/join. If you have questions about the registration process or have problems, please
email registration@gscnc.org.

Day and Evening Camp Additional Information
Camp Placement
Placement is not automatic for all camps. Some camps place campers based on a first come, first served
basis while others use a lottery system. See the specific camp’s description for more details. Most camps
guarantee entry for campers of full-time volunteers – consider volunteering!
•First Come First Served (FCFS) Camps: Placement is automatic for FCFS camps. Once campers are
registered online through eBiz, they have a space at camp. However, each camp is volunteer-run, and they
need enough adults to help behind the scenes or to deliver programming. Most camps guarantee entry and
offer priority placement for volunteers’ campers.
•Lottery Camps: Placement is not automatic for lottery camps. When you pay in full, and complete your
registration by the lottery registration deadline, you are buying a “ticket” into the camp lottery not a space in
camp. Once the deadline passes, the camp leadership team will randomly select campers from the “tickets”
