Camp Director
Kristen Gazzier grew up right here in Southern Alabama, starting Girl Scouts as a Brownie. Girl Scouts is where she found her love for the outdoors and high adventures. She is no stranger to Scoutshire Woods or Kamp Kiwanis as she has held multiple positions over the years, ranging from kitchen assistant to Waterfront Director since the age of 15. As Camp Director, she hopes to provide a place where girls can be themselves while also building their courage, confidence, and character.

She began working as a counselor at the age of 16 and progressed to becoming a lifeguard and assistant sailing instructor. Katelyn thinks that camp is a place where girls are able to truly be themselves.

GSSA Summer Resident camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and are staffed by carefully selected, well-trained young women. Camp counselors help create the magic of the Girl Scout summer camp experience. All GSSA summer camp staff have completed 60+ hours of comprehensive camp staff training and hold a current CPR and First Aid Certification. GSSA takes great care in creating an environment where girls can relax into a world of sisterhood, adventure, laughter, singing, hiking and more. GSSA summer camps are places where girls can build friendships, skills and confidence while creating life-long memories.
Families may request financial support for the full or partial cost of camp. GSSA supports families that apply for camp scholarships by securing funds to meet their needs so that the cost of camp is not a barrier for any girl who wants to attend.
Requests are confidential.
A $50 deposit is required to reserve your camper's spot at camp.
Scholarship approval notifications will be emailed as soon as we allocate funds, no later than May 17, 2024. In some instances, we may request a confidential phone interview to answer any questions regarding your request.
If your camper does not attend her scheduled week, your deposit and any other payments made will be refunded. However, the awarded scholarship will not be refunded.
Looking for a way to surprise your girl with an amazing gift? Buy her a gift card to pay for camp! Contact the Summer Camp Team at 800-239-6636 or email summercamp@girlscoutssa.org.
Here at Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama, we believe in giving girls the foundation to achieve success in adulthood. Summer resident camp is an incredible experience for our campers. We see the results happen before our eyes, every summer and caregivers tell us they see their camper's growth in courage, confidence and character when they pick them up from camp. If you didn’t feel the same way, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.
We think every girl should get to have this incredible experience. Can you donate a little to help us make a girl’s dream of going to camp come true? It’s tax deductible!

Pack medication containers in a plastic zip bag with the camper’s name printed in permanent ink on the bag. All medications, vitamins, and supplements must be in original containers with the doctor’s name, dosage, and any instructions clearly stated.
For resident camp, the camp health supervisor will keep medications, vitamins, ointments, etc., in the health center during camp. Inhalers, Epi Pens, and other necessary items will be kept with each camper as determined by the health supervisor and information on the Health History Form.
Q: How old does my child have to be to attend summer camp?
A: We offer programs for rising 2nd-12th graders.
Q: Can my child come to camp if she is not a Girl Scout?
A: Yes! Any girl is welcome! Non-Girl Scout Members pay an additional $25 Membership Registration fee.
Q: How long are camp sessions?
A: Regular, week-long sessions are 6 days and 5 nights. CIT Programs last 13 days and 12 nights. Mini sessions last 3 days and 2 nights.
Q: Where will my camper stay at camp?
A: Campers will live in a unit with other girls their age during their time at camp. This unit is supervised by a unit leader, unit counselors, and junior counselors, who also live in the unit. Each unit has a bath house, a unit house or pavilion, a fire ring, and picnic tables. Depending on age and what program the camper has signed up for, she will either sleep in cabins or tents. Our staff does not sleep in the same tent or room as the campers, but they are in close proximity and easily accessible.
Q: Can my camper attend with a friend?
A: Yes! If your friend is close to your age, and registered for the same program at the same time, you can be camp buddies. You will do all the activities together and bunk together in the same tent or cabin. Be sure to note your buddy choice on your registration form!
Q: What if my camper doesn’t know any other girls at camp?
A: Your child will make new friends at camp! Our camp staff are trained to lead games and activities that allow the girls to get to know each other, work together, and share their individual personalities with the whole group. With their counselor’s guidance, your camper will have a blast with her new friends!
Q: What’s a "camp name"?
A: It’s a Girl Scout tradition! Camp names are nicknames that are only used when at camp—they represent a counselor or camp staffer’s personality, passions, or interests. Once you pick a camp name, it’s yours forever!
Q: What if my daughter has special behavioral, dietary, physical, or emotional needs?
A: Every effort is made to serve a wide variety of campers. However, please understand that GSSA is not equipped or staffed to provide care for campers who need constant one-on-one assistance.
Before you register your camper, please email summercamp@girlscoutssa.org for help determining what will be a good fit for your child.
Q: How will I know my camper is being supervised properly?
A: Camp staff members are specially trained to focus on each camper’s well-being and safety. Supervision not only includes making sure girls are safe during activities, but also that they are changing their clothes daily, drinking water, applying sunscreen, and that healthy relationships are growing in their cabin or tent. Girl Scouts place a high priority on safety and train staff in all aspects of camp life - from leading activities to cooking over a campfire. Our goal is to carefully prepare and plan for each camp experience with your camper in mind. The majority of our counselors are college students and many are former campers. ALL have completed our leadership programs, such as Counselor-in-Training, and staff training.
Q: Can my camper bring electronics to camp?
A: No. Unplugging can enhance a camper’s experience! Cellphones, tablets, speakers or game devices are not allowed at camp. If there is an emergency and you need to speak with your camper, reach out to the emergency number provided in your Camper Information packet.
Q: How will I communicate with my camper while she is at camp?
A: Parents are encouraged to write letters or send care packages that can be dropped off at check-in. Camper’s love receiving mail from home! Campers will be able to write letters and send post cards home, as well. Our goal is for each camper to build autonomy while at camp. All cell phones must remain at home during your camper’s stay. We work to promote independence and group cohesion in campers by discouraging telephone contact during camp sessions. However, there are some exceptions to this philosophy, which are handled on a case-by-case basis. In the event of an emergency, parents can call the emergency phone number listed in the Camper Information Packet.
Q: Are your camps accredited by the American Camp Association?
A: Yes! We are very proud that we meet and exceed the high standards set forth by the ACA.
Q: What happens if the weather is bad?
A: Weather is closely monitored by the Camp Director. Our staff is trained to carry out emergency procedures in the event of a weather-related emergency at camp. Depending on the type and severity of the weather situation, certain camp activities may be canceled or postponed in order to ensure the safety of our campers and staff.
Q: Is your Girl Scout ready for camp?
A: Ask yourself these questions:
If you answered “yes” to all of these questions and you still feel there is more to discuss, please email summercamp@girlscoutssa.org, and you’ll be contacted by one of our camp leadership team to discuss your girl’s needs further.
Q: Are we (caregiver & Girl Scout) ready for camp?
A: Although age is a factor in camp readiness, a girl’s maturity level and personality are more important. Talk with your child about camp and ask if she wants to attend. Additionally, are you ready to send your child to camp? Use the following statements/questions to help make your decision together.
Q: Will GSSA take photos of my camper while they are at camp?
A: Yes! A GSSA staff photographer will be at camp each week. Staff photographers do their best to photograph each camper during their stay at camp, however, it’s not possible for them to capture every camper, every day. Camp photos will be uploaded to private on-line gallery. A limited number of photos will be shared on GSSA social media each day. Caregivers will be able to view and share images that are taken during camp, and will also given the ability to purchase prints directly from a professional printing lab for a small fee + shipping.
