Registration is now open for Back-to-Basics at Camp Marydale
this summer! Summer Resident Camp sessions will run throughout the
months of June and July. Space is limited for campers currently in
grades 1-12, so don't wait to get your girl registered.
Campers will enjoy arts and crafts, horseback riding, boating, outdoor
cooking, and nature, all while making new friends. While camp
modifications will be in place as we continue to combat the spread of
COVID-19, girls should come ready to play, explore, discover, and make
lifelong memories.
We know parents and guardians have a
lot to consider during this time, but please know there is nothing
GSLE takes more seriously than the safety and wellbeing of our girls,
volunteers and staff. We are listening to experts, taking the
necessary precautions, and implementing protocols in order to provide
the safest possible experience at our beloved Camp Marydale this summer.

Camp Counselors
Our counselors are selected based on their program skills, maturity,
education, caring attitude, and experience with children. Counselors
are primarily college students, both female and male, with male
counselors housed in separate quarters. Program areas, such as ropes
course, horses, swimming and boating, are directed by certified and
trained staff. All of our staff must successfully complete pre-camp
staff training, pass background screening, and become members of Girl
Scouts of the USA.
Camp Accreditation
Girl Scout Camp Marydale, Camp Whispering Pines, and Camp Covington
are all accredited by the American Camp Association. Accreditation
means that each camp undergoes a thorough review process by outside
camping professionals every three years. Our Girl Scout camps
consistently achieve the highest standards in the areas of personnel,
program, site administration, and health care.
