At the time of registration, individuals attending resident camp sessions may either pay the full amount or a $50 deposit. If only paying the deposit, you will receive an invoice for the remaining camp fee six weeks before camp starts. Your final payment will be due four weeks before your camp session starts. Troop camp and day camp registrations must be paid in full at the time of registration.

Cookie Credits
Girls earn Cookie Credits when they sell Girl Scout Cookies. The more cookies sold, the more credits earned. When girls sell 825 or more packages, they may be eligible for a half-off camp coupon (maximum value $240). All girls benefit from cookie sales, which help subsidize camp registration costs and pay for camp upkeep. You have approximately a year and a half to use Cookie Credits after you’ve earned them—credits expire on September 15 the year after the Cookie Program season in which they were earned.
You do not need to wait to register for camp until you receive your Cookie Credits or camp coupon! Instead, you should register and put down a deposit—we’ll apply your credits or coupons later.
Fall FUNds
Girls earn Fall FUNds through the Snacks + Magazines sale. Credits earned can help pay for day camp, troop camp, or resident camp. You have approximately a year to use Fall FUNds after you’ve earned them—funds expire on September 15 the year after the Fall Product season in which they were earned.
Grants for Girls
If the total cost of camp is not affordable, you can request financial assistance to help with the cost. No proof of income is required, and requests are confidential. Mail in the Summer Grant Application along with your registration form from above. A $10 non-refundable deposit must accompany each registration requesting a grant. Note: Only Girl Scout members are eligible for grants and grants are limited to one camp session per year.
