Welcome to Philly Camp! I have been working at Philly Camp since it was founded in 2023. This will be my first year as the Camp Director, but I have been a counselor and Assistant Director here for the past 2 summers respectively. My background is in Early Childhood/ Special Education as well as Psychology, and I am a summer camp veteran, working at various camps as a Jr. and Sr. Counselor since 2016! I am excited to share the Girl Scout experience with your camper this summer!
Jump into the wonderful world of Girl Scouting with a week of games, skill-building, songs, science experiments, and hands-on STEM experiences.
Philly Camp is a unique Girl Scout experience that allows Philadelphia girls entering grades K-12 to attend one week-long session of Girl Scout camp for just $50 and includes a Girl Scout Membership for one year. To make the experience more accessible, breakfast and lunch will be provided for the girls, and there will be an additional bus route in the morning and afternoon set up by GSEP (route to be determined).
Weather permitting, each week the whole camp will take a trip to one of Pennsylvania’s beautiful nature parks. While there, expect to explore the hiking trails, learn what it means to take care of the environment, and earn the Eco badge for your age group!
Philly Camp is for girls who live within a Philadelphia zip code.
