STEM-based camp sessions help girls find their spark

Girl Scout camp normally conjures up images of s'mores, swimming and sing-alongs. Chemistry, forensics and engineering? Not so much.

But our STEM-based camp sessions at Camps Conshatawba and Hawthorne Ridge are changing that!

Whether she's an aspiring crime scene investigator, shines when she's solving puzzles or problems, is fascinated by the supernatural, or is a die-hard do-it-yourselfer, she'll find a session that will help her find her spark. 

And of course, these five-day sessions also include all the other favorite camp activities like swimming, arts and crafts, hiking, campfires and much more. Check out the sessions below and register today. (Save 10% when you register by March 31!)
