Get Ready For Opening Day!
In order to be best prepared to hop on the computer and register for camp on January 30 and secure the spots that you want please do the following in
eBiz PRIOR to opening of registration:
- ensure that your daughter's account is activated
- make sure that your daughter is a currently registered Girl Scout for the 2012-2013 membership year (non-Girl Scouts may not register online and are required to pay an addition $150). If she is not registered you may do so through eBiz.
Directions can be found on the Welcome page for both account activation and registering as a Girl Scout member.
Camp Fees
Girl Scouts of Western Ohio has worked hard to offer summer camp opportunities at the lowest possible rates. We have been able to maintain fundraising efforts and minimize expenses in an effort to offer camp opportunities to girls at about half the actual cost.
- Girl Scout members: eBiz online summer camp registration is the best option for registering for camp and is available this year for both current members and those girl who wish to become members in order to pay the member price. Online registration opens at midnight and offers first-come first-served real-time registration with no paperwork delays!
- Non-Girl Scout members: Non-Girl Scouts may attend camp for an additional $150 surcharge to the camp registration fee ($150 reflects a portion of the Girl Scout subsidy). Non-Girl Scouts who wish to become Girl Scouts may register online through eBiz. Girl Scout membership is a separate transaction and must be completed prior to registering for camp.
Registering For Camp
Many camps fill quickly. You are encouraged to use the eBiz online registration for real-time registration and to check availability in your chosen camp session.
Prior to opening of registration please go to eBiz and activate your daughter's account and register her as a member if need be. Directions can be found on the Welcome page.

Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available to registered Girl Scouts wanting to attend camp, based on financial need. All campers must pay the $30 deposit and some portion of the program fee. Financial assistance exists to ensure girls have access to camp. Don’t let the cost be the barrier to your daughter attending camp. There is support available.
Campers using eBiz online registration should submit a paper financial assistance form after successfully completing their online camp registration.
Balance Due
A balance due letter will be sent to campers with the confirmation letter. The balance of the camp fee can be paid by credit card through eBiz online registration or by cash, check, or “Cookie Dough” by mail or walk in to a regional service center. The balance of all camps must be paid IN FULL by May 24, 2013.
To ensure fair and timely registration of all campers, registrations submitted without the appropriate forms completed and/or proper fee included will not be accepted and will be returned. If the balance is not paid by May 24, 2013, your reservation will be cancelled and your deposit forfeited. Each camp registration form submitted on or after May 24, 2013 must include payment in full for each camp program.
