2026 Summer Camp Session 3 - Beyond the Stars (Nocturnal Shenanigans)

The last date for registration has passed.

When the sun goes down and the moon comes up, the adventure begins!

Explore camp and the desert after dark as you stay up late for night hikes beneath the Milky Way and keep nightwatch by the fire at the Kickapoo shelter. Join Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists for a spotlight adventure to search for nocturnal critters, and cap off your week with a visit to McDonald Observatory for a world-famous Star Party.

Enjoy slow, relaxing mornings when you get to sleep in, and tap into your creativity with no-flash photography and your very own laser light show.

Cookie Recognition for free week of camp
If your camper sells 3,000+ packages of Girl Scout Cookies and chooses a free week of camp (or 5,000+ for a second free week of camp), they must still register following the standard camp registration process to reserve their spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit payment at the time of registration to hold the camp session. Once the Girl Scout Cookie Program is complete and all prizes are confirmed, campers who elect a free week of camp will be refunded the deposit paid to hold their camp spot.

Using Desert Dollars to pay for camp
If your camper plans to pay with their Desert Dollars earned from the Fall Product and/or Cookie Programs, they must still be registered following the standard camp registration process to reserve their spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit payment at the time of registration to hold the camp session. A completed Desert Dollar redemption form and Desert Dollars must be mailed to GSDSW Attn: Desert Dollar Redemption, 225 E. Idaho, Suite #9, Las Cruces, NM 88005.

Securing financial assistance to attend camp
We believe every girl deserves to experience the magic of camp, and we're happy to help if it is needed. To apply for Resident Camp Financial Assistance, please go to www.gsdsw.org. Typically, financial assistance covers up to 50% of camp fees. When applying for financial assistance, follow the standard camp registration process to reserve your spot. All camp registrations require a $75 deposit payment at the time of registration to hold the camp session. Awarded financial assistance will be used to help pay the balance.
