Camp Life is the Best Life at Camp Merrie-Wood!

Summer is rapidly approaching, and parents are looking for a fun, safe environment for their girls. The good news is that girls can spend their summer at Camp Merrie-Wood making memories to last a lifetime!

Camp Merrie-Wood in Manchester, CT offers fun and challenging activities for all girls in grades K-12! Operated by Girl Scouts of Connecticut, Camp Merrie-Wood is proud to be licensed by the State of Connecticut and accredited by the American Camp Association which shows a commitment to offering high quality programs, meeting safety standards, and following the best business practices.

At all of our day camps, girls can take part in new programs while participating in all of the traditional activities camp has to offer. Girls in grades 6 and above can take a trip to Camp Laurel in Lebanon to spend the night and return to Merrie-Wood the next day. At Laurel, girls will have the opportunity to explore different water activities which include swimming, canoeing, and trying out the new paddle boards!

Throughout the summer, girls will develop leadership qualities, learn and practice outdoor skills, receive instructional swim, and more! Younger girls begin their camp experience by leading songs and playing games. Girls in grades nine through twelve can participate in a number of leadership programs.

Each member of our summer camp staff has been carefully screened and chosen for their skills and experience. All staff receives more than 30 hours of training in child development, teambuilding, safety, and risk management.

All girls in grades K-12 are welcome at Camp Merrie-Wood, which offers bus services from many local towns. Visit gsofct.org for more information and directions. Come learn more about different programs and sign your girls up for a summer to remember!
