About Us:

For over 100 years, we have helped girls develop the skills and confidence they need to blossom into their best selves. From our earliest badges in electricity, aeronautics, and natural sciences to today’s all-girl robotics teams and cookie entrepreneurs, girls have challenged themselves through our skill-building opportunities, worked with inspiring role models, and developed lifelong friendships.

We run three different summer camps. Camp Togowoods is a sleepaway camp outside of Wasilla, Alaska. Camp Singing Hills is a Day Camp in Chugiak. The Community Day Camp program is a one-week day camp in different communities throughout Alaska. We hire three sets of staff to run these camps for the summer. Some leadership is year-round Girl Scout staff, while others are seasonal.

About Camp Singing Hills:

Girl Scout Day Camp is a wonderful way to experience all the fun of camp and still return home each evening! With guidance from professional leadership and quality staff, day camp is a great place for girls to stretch their limits and widen their horizons. Camper groups are typically made up of 15 campers and two counselors. Girls are grouped by age and will likely have multiple grade levels in each group. Camp Singing Hills is in Chugiak, which has a lake, forest, lodge, and trails.
