Gather at Gambill for family and troop fun in the sun!

Bring your troop or family to our waterfront camp for a four-day, three-night outdoor adventure that includes all activities and meals! Our camp staff provides memorable experiences while families and troop volunteers look after their Girl Scouts. Summer sessions run Thursdays through Sundays.

FAMILY CAMP

Think of it as a super easy family vacation, or a great way to introduce your Girl Scout to camp life. Enjoy four days and three nights of meals together in the dining hall as well as daytime activities like archery, arts and crafts, swimming, log-rolling, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, and evening events like campfires, stargazing, and cookouts.

All ages and genders are welcome to attend with their Girl Scout, and each family is housed in their own one-room cabin. Latrines are shared with other families. Cabins in the Frog Unit sleep up to eight in bunk and single beds. Cabins in the Sleepy Unit can accommodate up to six in single beds. Select your cabin and pay according to the number of family members. Children ages four and under are free. Please note that camp does not provide cribs, bassinets, or changing tables, so families will need to bring their own if desired.

TROOP CAMP

Similar to family camp, the four-day, three-night experience includes all activities, meals, and snacks. GSNETX policies on adult safety-wise ratios and first aid certification apply for the troop volunteers. Troops do not need a troop camp trained adult because programming is led by our staff. Please note that adult male housing will be provided in pop-up tents or in cabins depending on available space.

Need assistance? Contact Customer Care at (972) 349-2403 or email customercare@gsnetx.org. They are available Monday - Thursday from 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Friday.

Mariner-in-Training (MIT)

Adventure meets leadership on the water! The Mariner-in-Training program is designed for girls ready to dive into new challenges, build confidence, and discover their leadership potential while attending camp with their family or troop.

MITs participate fully in camp life as they:

Tackle team-building adventures and personal growth with their peers
Jump in to help counselors lead waterfront fun and other camp activities
Inspire and mentor younger campers through teamwork and creativity

Each day brings something new—kayaking across the lake, leading games in the water or on the shore, helping launch and stack boats, and joining camp favorites like crafts, target sports, and evening events. You’ll work hard, play hard, and make unforgettable memories along the way. Participants must be rising 9^th graders or older at the start of camp, be attending with family or troop, be able to pass the swim test, and be ready to kayak into adventure!

MIT may be selected during the registration process.
