[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Girl Scout camps are about $600 for the week, depending on what you choose. You have to register as a girl scout ($25) but do not attend with a troop and do not need to scout during the year. My kid always has a good time.

They get a lot of criticism on this board so as a heads up: these are traditional, low key camps where you do tie dye, campfire skits, swimming pool, some entry-level outdoor stuff. Your camper will not be whitewater rafting or rock climbing so don't expect that. [/quote]

This isn’t necessarily true! At my Girl Scout camp in Maine we learned to sail and also climbed mount katahdin , sometimes on the knife’s edge route![/quote]

+1. My daughters go to Girl Scout camps in PA that have an optional rafting trip for 6th graders and up. Also horseback riding, ropes courses, ziplines, rock climbing, water sports (canoe, SUP, etc.), etc. The VA/MD Girl Scouts camps didn't have as many amenities although May Flather has rock climbing and a bus from this area. Winona, which seems geared toward younger campers, was very poorly run when my daughter went (although I've heard there is a new director). [/quote]
