Launch 2025 Summer Camp at Camp Welaka
April 21, 2025 – The countdown to summer fun is on! Registration is now open for the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida’s 2025 summer camp session at Camp Welaka in Tequesta, Florida, a 640-acre of preserved woodland where girls can explore nature, develop new skills and foster lasting friendships.
Open to all girls, not just current Girl Scouts, three summer programs at Camp Welaka offer a variety of outdoor adventures and leadership-building opportunities for girls from kindergarten through 12th grade. The three signature programs are:
Resident Camp is designed to build confidence and independence in an environment where the girls are empowered by their peers and camp staff to try something new. Campers will enjoy swimming, archery, canoeing, hiking, themed events and more. There are three sessions of Resident Camp running from June 13 through July 17 for girls entering kindergarten through 12th grade.
Day Camp offers all the excitement of camp without the overnight stay. Perfect for younger campers, this experience gives girls the chance to explore the outdoors while developing key life skills including communication, responsibility and independence. Activities include archery, slingshots, paddling, hiking, pool time and arts and crafts. Day Camp is offered June 23 through June 27 and July 21 through July 25 for girls in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Camp 2gether allows girls and a trusted adult to experience camp life together. Featuring overnight stays and traditional camp activities, Camp 2gether helps families bond and create shared memories in a fun, natural setting. Camp 2gether runs from June 6 through June 8 and is open to girls entering kindergarten through 12th grade and their accompanying adults.
“Our summer camps at Camp Welaka are designed to give every girl a safe, supportive space where she can unplug, build confidence, and connect with others,” said Lisa Johnson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida. “As evidenced in our recent State Florida Girl Report, more than half of high school girls regularly feel sad or hopeless and screen time is at an all-time high, camp offers something different — real friendships, outdoor adventures, and the chance to discover their strengths. You don’t have to be a Girl Scout to attend, but after a week at camp, most girls are excited to become one.”
Space is limited. To register or for more information visit https://www.gssef.org/en/members/for-girl-scouts/camp-and-outdoors/summer-camp.html.
