Camp and Outdoors
You’re a force of nature, Girl Scout
And you are ready for more outdoor adventures.
Whether you’re discovering the wildlife in your own backyard, swimming in a lake for the first time at summer camp or being a citizen scientist and observing bees in your neighborhood park, every outdoor adventure grows your “I’ve got this” attitude. And once you unlock that confidence, you’ll aim as high as the stars you see outside your cabin window.
Ways to get outdoors
Troop Camping
Are you ready for an outdoor adventure? Camping is a key (and fun!) component of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, and troop camping provides an easy way for girls and volunteers to experience the great outdoors. Plan a group excursion to explore the outdoors with your troop today!
Requirements for Troop Camping 
Resident Camp
Summer camp at Kamp Kiwanis offers opportunities for all girls to safely have fun, develop new friendships, and build confidence via mastering new skills. Choose from full, 6 day-5 night, sessions, or mini-sessions which last 3 days and 2 nights. Sail Away sailing camp is always a favorite and is open to girls of all skill levels: beginners to experienced sailors! We're also excited to offer the resident camp experience to your troops. It'll be a campout for all ages - from daisies to volunteers!
GSSA Council Properties
Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama's council properties are available throughout the year for troops to experience camping in a variety ways, with activities appropriate for all levels. Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama Council camps offer a wide array of safe outdoors experiences, including canoeing, hatchet throwing, outdoor skills, kayaking, hiking, campfires, and more.
