Abby, Brynn, and Chloe arrived at Camp Conshatawba with different emotions—Abby, a seasoned camper on her fifth trip, was excited, while first-timers Brynn and Chloe felt nervous. Brynn worried about making friends, and Chloe feared being homesick. But as the days passed, camp transformed them.

Abby’s confidence had grown with each camp experience, and this time was no different—especially when she scaled the rock wall for the first time. “Camp has definitely made me more confident and showed me how brave I could be. It gave me the courage to know I can do things that I think I can’t.”

Brynn quickly discovered that camp was full of fun and new experiences, like archery—her new favorite activity. “I was scared I wasn’t going to have fun, but once I got there, I had so much fun with Abby and Chloe and made so many new friends,” she said.

Chloe, despite her initial fears, found strength in the support of her counselors and friends. She pushed through the challenges and realized just how resilient she was. “I was really nervous about being homesick,” she shared. “I feel I’m stronger and can push through any challenges I am faced with.”

Together, they tackled obstacles, won the Best Teamwork award, and created unforgettable memories. As camp ended, they felt a mix of emotions—sad to leave but eager to return.

For these girls, Girl Scout camp wasn’t just a summer activity. It was a journey of growth, teamwork, and discovering just how much they could accomplish when they believed in themselves and each other.

Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania’s four camps have something for every level of readiness, allowing girls to develop important life skills in a safe, supportive environment where they can be truly, totally themselves.
