Girl Scout camp registration begins March 15
Girl Scouts of Northern Indiana-Michiana (GSNI-M) has announced that registration for summer camps will open Monday, March 15. There will be several camp options for girls and their families to explore, including day camp at Camp McMillen in Huntertown, resident camp at Camp Logan near Syracuse, and new summer series weekend programming.
After GSNI-M was forced to cancel summer camp in 2020, it will offer all the traditional camp activities this year, including horseback riding, archery, kayaking and low-ropes courses. There will still be campfires, s’mores, crafts and songs, plus science, technology, engineering and math.
GSNI-M will post COVID-19 updates as needed on its website, gsnim.org.
Girl Scouts currently selling cookies are earning funds that can be used for summer camp registration. Financial assistance is also available. For more information or to register for camp starting March 15, visit gsnim.org.
