Weekend Camp

Girl Scouts of Orange County is closely monitoring the COVID-19 updates from the  Centers for Disease Control, the World Health Organization, the California Department of Public Health, and the Orange County Health Care Agency. Out of an abundance of caution, all weekend camps and Camp Scherman events/sessions are canceled through May 31. Camper families are receiving communications regarding refunds. We appreciate your patience, as our refund processing may take longer than normal.

Get away with your Girl Scout for a weekend of adventure at Camp Scherman! Whether she attends with her troop or you join her on a special parent-and-me getaway, she’ll have fun and develop new skills that last a lifetime.

All campers get to try their hand at favorite camp activities, including archery, canoeing, hiking, swimming, and low ropes, led by trained camp staff. Weekend campers must be accompanied by troop leaders and/or a parent for the entire weekend to meet proper adult:girl ratios.*

Weekend participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp.
