Description: 

Join girls and families across Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana for an at home camp-in. This Summer Great Family Camp-In will have fun camp activities that you can do with your family, troop, or fellow campers from across the nation, all day long! This program is free to everyone - you don’t have to be a Girl Scout to attend!

Choose the activities that you want to participate in, including art projects, outdoor skills, games, camp cooking, and more! Don’t forget to set up your campsite outside with a tent or inside with a fort and get ready for some camp magic.

We’ll start the week by sharing some fun camping basics and ideas on how to set up your campsite on our GSGCNWI Facebook page and YouTube. Then join in for a packed weekend, see the full schedule below!

We encourage you to participate in any number of activities throughout the day or even join us for the full camp day! Our Summer Great Family Camp-In will be a combination of live programs, pre-recorded videos, interactive webinars, and breaks between scheduled activities so that you can participate with us and have time to get outside!

We will also have an activity packet with more camp fun that you can do on your own or coordinate to do with your family, friends, or troop from afar. This Great Family Camp-In activity packet will have camp recipes, game ideas, hike suggestions, song lyrics, the event schedule, and more.
