Fulfill your dreams of being a mermaid and swimming with a beautiful mermaid tail! Learn all of the safety and techniques of using a mermaid tail while swimming by a professional mermaid swim instructor. Campers will also take part in traditional camp activities such as swimming, creek stomping and crafts. Campers must be confident swimmers and able to swim underwater and tread water without using their hands for 1 minute. Refunds will not be given to campers who do not pass the swim test. Campers will earn the specialty Mermaid Badge.
Levels-IMPORTANT!
Be sure to register your camper for the Girl Scout level they will be in the fall of 2025, not what level they are at the time of registration.
Upon Completion of your Summer Camp Registration, you will be required to fill out Camp Information Forms. You will receive these in an email one week after you complete your registration. These forms must be completed four weeks before your camp session or your registration will be subject to cancelation with no refund.
Please Note: You must have a current Girl Scout Membership to participate in GSHPA Summer Camps. Don't have your membership yet? Click HERE to become a member, then return to this page to sign up for CAMP!
Financial Aid for Camp
GSHPA is committed to making sure that camp is accessible to all of our Girl Scouts. Families requesting financial assistance who would like to bypass the non-refundable $50 deposit must call into Member Services at 717-233-1656 to register. If you are comfortable paying the $50 non-refundable deposit, you may proceed with registering through myGS. Please note if you decide to pay the deposit without calling in and are approved for financial assistance, the $50 deposit will not be refunded, but the remaining balance will be covered. The form to request financial aid for camp will be emailed to you, the week after you register through GS events. This form must be completed within 2 weeks of your GS event registration, or her slot will be forfeited and opened to other campers. If approved, financial aid covers the entire balance. Be aware that financial assistance is a finite resource. For more information on financial aid qualification and availability, please contact memberservices@gshpa.org or 717-233-1656.
