Summer camp is a Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois tradition! At Girl Scout Camp, the clouds drift by and the smiles stay for a while. Our happy campers feel right at home in this supportive space that’s filled with fun, friends, and exciting new adventures.
Day Camp is for girls in kindergarten and above, with activities on two or more consecutive days for three hours or more. Girl Scout Day Camp is held in a variety of locations across southern Illinois. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Day Camps vary in length and age groups served.
Overnight Camps are offered to girls of all grade levels at Camp Torqua. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Overnight Camps are girl-led, meaning girls will plan many of the activities with their counselors/volunteers, taking advantage of the resources available at the campsite.
Financial assistance is available for those who qualify. Visit our Opportunity Funds page for more information. If you would like to help another Girl Scout have the opportunity to attend camp, please contact us and make a donation.
The Girl Scout Experience Fund (GSEF) supports each registered girl member of Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois so that she may experience activities that build courage, confidence, and character. Visit our GSEF page to learn more. GSEF grant requests are not income based and can be applied for in conjunction with Financial Assistance requests. Please note that GSEF requests must be submitted by a Troop Leader/Treasurer or Service Unit Manager/Treasurer.
