This fund will help girls who may not otherwise be able to afford summer camp, to attend and will be designated for programs based on activities each girl loved, such as horseback riding, theater, and animal care. Please visit the individual giving page to donate. Please be sure to note your gift is for the Sandy Hook Girl Scout Campership Fund.
