Registration Instructions
Early registration will be open from February 3rd through April 9th Regular registration at an increased rate will be open from April 10th through May 14th, or until camp is full. Registration is not considered complete until full payment is received and a final roster has been submitted.
To secure the reduced rates for early registration, you must submit a roster and full payment (received – not in the mail) before April 19th. If you do not submit a roster or make payment arrangements, your registration will be converted to the regular rates. You will still be able to add participants after your initial submission, but payment and rosters for everyone getting the early rate need to be received before April 19th.
Final rosters are due May 14th. Failure to submit a roster by the deadline will result in your troop’s registration being canceled.
Full payment is due (received – not in the mail) May 21st. If a girl has GoDough available and wishes to use it for this event, indicate girl name and amount to apply in comment section of the registration form, withhold this amount from registration fee sent by camp deadline, and have parent contact Customer Care at GSHPA (before payment deadline) with girl name, amount, and the event for which GoDough will be used.
Please indicate any special accommodations or restrictions in the comment section of the registration form.

Girls who have completed Kindergarten must become GSHPA members and register at the girl rate (i.e., tagalong applies to boys age 0-17 and girls age 0-pre-K). The fee for Friday Day Only Tagalongs is $15 and for Saturday Day Only Tagalongs is $30.
If your Tagalong wants to attend for both days or stay overnight, you need to contact the event coordinators (camp@statecollegegirlscouts.org) to check availability. They will be charged the full girl rate.
Bridging
Troops who are bridging should register for the program they intend to complete. For example, if you have 3rd grade Brownies who will be entering 4th grade in the Fall and want to complete the Junior Geocacher Badge, register as Juniors.

How do we register as a troop if some will stay overnight and do the Brownie program and some will only stay for Saturday and (I presume) have to do the Daisy program?
You would register the girls staying overnight for the Summer Camporee and the girls doing day only on the Daisy Day. If all your adults are staying for the weekend they will need to be registered for the weekend event. You can make a comment to that effect on the Daisy Day registration and let us know who will be supervising the day-only girls. If you need to submit the roster with no adults, change the type to “Troop Member”.
Hi! The above email address does not work. Is there another?
There was a typo in the link (missing an e in state college). It is camp@statecollegegirlscouts.org or you can use Contact Us.
