Choosing A Camp Session
In order to ensure the best experience for your camper, it is important that she
be registered in a session that is appropriate for her age and Girl Scout Level. You
should choose based on what grade your camper will be ENTERING NEXT FALL.
For example: If she is currently finishing up 3rd grade and will be going into 4th
grade in the Fall, she should be registered into a Junior program even if she has
not officially bridged yet. See chart below for more details.
Daisies* – Entering 1st grade Cadettes – Entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade
Brownies – Entering 2nd or 3rd grade Seniors – Entering 9th or 10th grade
Juniors – Entering 4th or 5th grade Ambassadors – Entering 11th or 12th grade

week of registering, please contact customercare@gsctx.org as soon
as possible.

notify us no later than the first day of your camper’s session of any illness in order to reschedule or
receive a refund. Refunds will not be processed until all documentation is received.

Cabins & Buddy Requests
At resident camp, we place our campers into cabins by
program. While one cabin may house campers from more
than one program, girls who are in different programs
cannot request each other as buddies and will not
be housed together. We allow campers to request
ONE buddy each and both girls must enter their
buddy choice during the registration process.
Beds are not assigned and are chosen by girls as
they arrive on a first-come first-serve basis. If
buddies will not be arriving together, the first girl
to arrive will be allowed to save one bed for her
buddy.
More than half of our campers come to camp
without a designated buddy and 100% of our
campers will likely make new friends once they arrive.
Campers have the best experience when they come
without a buddy, or with no more than 3 friends. Any more than
4 friends/troop mates in the same program makes it difficult for those girls not in that same
friend group, and difficult for everyone to make new friends within their program. For this
reason, we do not recommend an entire troop of girls register for the same program at camp.
They can all come the same week/session but may have a better experience if they spread out
throughout several different programs.
Special Needs/Considerations
Help us ensure your girl’s success at camp. Our goal is to provide
a positive experience for all girls, and the more we know, the more
we can help her grow. Parents/guardians of girls with special needs or unique habits should
contact the appropriate camp director or customercare@gsctx.org so the best placement and
appropriate accommodations can be made.
In order to attend Girl Scouts of Central Texas' summer resident camps, campers must be able
to meet the following essential functions:
• Move independently from place to place
• Effectively interact in group-based program content
• Be able to meet personal needs (bathing, toileting, dressing, diet management, etc.)
• Capable self-manager of chronic illness. A camper must be able to be aware of their
own dietary restrictions, medication requirements, and potential restrictions on physical
activity and can alert counselors when she needs additional assistance.
Each program's living unit is listed in the 2020 GSCTX Camp Guide. Please be sure to choose a
program that meets your camper's needs if you require certain amenities for medical conditions
(such as air conditioning or electricity). Campers will not be able to live in a unit different from
their program's assigned space due to capacity limits.

Camper Health and Wellness
Let Us Be Your Parenting Partner. Some parents hesitate to provide camps with personal
information about their camper’s behavior or past experiences. They fear the information
may be misused or are concerned about their child being labeled, singled out or treated
differently. All parents want to see their child have a strong, fresh start at camp, unrestrained
by past problems. As seasoned camp professionals, we appreciate and understand these
concerns. We also know how invaluable such information can be in assisting us help your
child make a smooth and happy adjustment to camp. Having prior knowledge of a learning
difficulty, ADHD, medical condition, recent loss or major change in the family for example can
make a tremendous difference in helping us be sensitive to your child’s need for patience,
understanding and reassurance, especially in the first few days of camp. This is especially true
for children who have attention issues or anxiety in new situations. Children often use their
behaviors rather than their words to tell us something is bothering them. Having advance
knowledge of areas that might be difficult for your child helps us understand the messages in
her actions. The better we understand your child, the more we can do to ensure a better camp
experience for her.
Our commitment is to use such information only to help your child adjust to camp. It will
not be used unless necessary and will only be made available to those staff members whose
knowledge is directly relevant to the safe and positive delivery of camp programs for your
camper. Remember, when faced with challenges, we can help your child have success, if
you help us. We encourage you to make us a full partner in planning for your child’s summer
success by providing us with as much information as you can about your camper. Our Health
History form contains space for this important information.
Camper Behavior
Everyone is expected to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law while at camp. We expect
girls who attend to fully participate in the life of camp – to attend activities, to share in daily
responsibilities, and to sincerely work to get along with others. The Camp Manager and staff
will do everything possible to help girls adjust to camp life. However, if a behavior or discipline
problem becomes serious or disruptive, parents will be contacted. GSCTX reserves the right
to send home from camp any girl who consistently exhibits unsuitable behavior, endangers
herself or others in the camp community or whose actions towards others are unacceptable.
On these rare occasions, the parent will be responsible for coming to pick up their camper as
soon as possible, and no refund for camp fees will be given.

resident camp
All GSCTX Camps are designed to provide a traditional Girl Scout Camp experience
with a ‘twist’. The ‘twist’ is the theme of the program you choose at registration. For
example, Harriet Potter is not intended to be fully immersive Harry Potter camp, but
rather a week of traditional Girl Scout Camp with a Harry Potter spin to it. If you have
any questions about the program you are interested in signing up for, please don’t
hesitate to contact us and ask customercare@gsctx.org.
Half-Week Sessions (Sunday-Wednesday): These programs are a great option
for younger or new resident campers. Families and friends of campers in these short
week programs are invited to join us in celebrating the magic of camp at our end-
of-session exhibition, which begins on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. and ends when we
say goodbye to our half-week campers at 3:00 p.m. You may even discover that your
camper is ready to attend a longer session later in the summer!
One Week Sessions: A wonderful option for both new and experienced campers.
This session length has the biggest variety of program options to choose from at both
camps. If you have tons of fun at camp, you’re more than welcome to attend multiple
full week sessions each summer!
Two-Week Sessions: Available for older, more experienced resident campers, these
sessions allow campers to stay for two weeks at their camp program to learn even
more and have extra fun. Campers will have access to laundry facilities over the
weekend along with extra time to relax and enjoy the camp.
