The camps give Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts the opportunity to earn official badges while diving into creative and educational adventures.
The camps are held on the Lake Havasu and Kingman campuses, each camp runs from 8 AM to noon and is led by experienced instructors who encourage curiosity, confidence, and creativity. Camps are 3 to 4 days long, priced between $110 and $135, with new sessions starting weekly in June.
In Art Adventure Camp, scouts can earn the Brownie and Junior Art & Design badges while exploring painting, sculpture, mixed media, and cultural art. The camp concludes with a family-friendly art showcase that celebrates their creative accomplishments.
The Creative Writing Camp helps Junior Scouts earn the Scribe badge as they develop their storytelling skills through fun writing prompts, character development, and collaborative brainstorming sessions.
