About camp
Summer camp is the kind of work where you give your all every day, learn about yourself, and have the opportunity to use your talents to make a difference in the lives of girls. Summer camp is hard work. The hours are long and at the end of the day, the tired you will feel, is the kind that happens when you really made a difference in the life of a girl and young adult. We provide two hours off each day to relax and rest at resident camp and at least one full day off each week at all camps. Pay at our camps is competitive with other similar camps. Other benefits include developing lifelong friendships, a girl's warm smile, and gaining skills and experience that will make a difference in your own life. This sets camp work apart from other summer jobs. Join Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Lakes and Pines, as we strive to serve all girls to help them develop into caring, competent, confident women through progressive, innovative programming and stewardship.
