Giving the Gift of the Great Outdoors to Your Favorite Girl Scout

Girl Scouts have always been a force of nature and now, families can give their favorite troop member an early taste of outdoor adventure by gifting them a weeklong summer camp experience this holiday season. Specifically, Girl Scouts of Connecticut (GSOFCT) is offering a $75 per week discount to any of its five summer camps for people who register between December 4th, 2024 and April 15, 2025.

“Girl Scouts wouldn't be Girl Scouts without the great outdoors - it’s one of our four primary pillars where girls make new friends, build campfires and hike trails,” said Elicia Pegues Spearman, Esq., chief executive officer at Girl Scouts of Connecticut. “Our annual holiday discount program is a fantastic opportunity for parents, grandparents and other family members to ‘gift’ a fun and fulfilling week of camp to their excited outdoor enthusiast.”

Spearman notes that the $75 discount applies to all four day camps, which include Camp An-Se-Ox in Oxford, Camp Aspetuck in Weston, Camp Clatter Valley in New Milford and Camp Merrie-Wood in Manchester, as well as the organization’s overnight camp- Camp Laurel in Lebanon. Typical prices range from $385 to $625 per week.

Additionally, GSOFCT offers a special Adventure Camp, which offers girls entering 6th to 12th grade an immersive week of learning and exciting adventures, including climbing, canoeing and day trips. Costs range from $1,275 to $1,675 per week.

As an extra bonus, early registrants will also receive an official Girl Scouts water bottle and custom stickers.

“All of our summer camps provide a unique variety of engaging camp activities that allow our Girl Scouts to expand their horizons, while enjoying the adventure of learning and connecting with the world around them,” adds Spearman.

GSOFCT summer properties are also available to rent for private or corporate functions.
