Girl Scouts of Southern Nevada Summer Camps – Register Today!

My daughter has been going to Camp Foxtail this will be her 5th summer at camp. This video is from her first year going to camp.

Camp Foxtail registration is open with the full catalog of camps available online. 

As a parent comparing the cost of Camp Foxtail with Camp Lee Canyon the Girl Scout camp is half the price! ($400 for Camp Lee Canyon vs $175-$275 for Foxtail).

Camp Foxtail is where tradition meets today’s girl! Since 1949, Camp Foxtail has offered girls in Southern Nevada the chance to engage in the childhood rite of passage, summer camp!

Camp Foxtail empowers girls through programs that encourage leadership through activities such as hiking, biking, rock climbing, high and low adventure courses, singing, arts and crafts, campfires, and so much more!

Located in the Toiyabe National Forest high above Las Vegas in the cool Spring Mountain Range, Camp Foxtail is open to registered members of Girl Scouts, ages 8 to 17 years old. Sessions run June through August and provide a unique educational experience where girls learn to live and work with other girls, and prepare them for the challenges of everyday life.

There is also an event called Camp Chit Chat so that parents and girls can get their questions answered about going to camp if you are still unsure.
