GLEN CARBON - Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois’ Day Camps provide girls with a safe, unique and adventurous program by day or evening (twilight camp), returning home each night. Girl Scout Day Camps are held in many communities throughout southern Illinois and run during June and July. Many start at $50 for a week (M-F), for an affordable yet exciting and fun camp experience. Non-Girl Scouts are welcome to attend!
In addition, VOLUNTEERS are needed at ALL DAY camps. If you are interested in donating an h our or two or even a day or a week to help girls have a great outdoor experience, please contact Carolyn or Emily.
