Camperships (Financial Aid)
If you need assistance to cover your camp cost, just select financial aid when registering for camp. Camperships apply to girls in the state of Alaska only. Girls may receive financial aid for up to two weeks of any camp.
Product Credits
Product Credits are earned by girls who participate in the Girl Scouts Fall Product Program and Cookie Program. This year, we are making some changes to simplify our system for families, streamline the process of applying camp credits, and adjust to better fit our diverse options for credit use. You can see the highlights of the changes below. We also heard you and will continue our expanded use of credits for memberships and GSAK programs as well as keep the option for Girl Scouts to share their credits with others.
Girl Scouts of Alaska Product Credit Policy – Updated August 2022
*New/Changes for This Year*
- New Name - Credits earned from the Fall Product Program and Cookie Program are being combined into product credits.
- FPP Expanded Use - All product credits including those earned from the Fall Product Program will now count towards free camp sessions
- Free Camp Sessions - The number of credits needed for a specific camp session will be listed in the camp catalog. The number for a free session of camp will be different depending on the type, location, and duration of the program.
- Partial Camp Session - When using credits for part of a session of camp, each credit will be worth $0.40/box at day or sleepaway camp.
- Partial Payment with Credits – Credits may be used to pay for part of a session of camp. When using credits for memberships or GSAK programs, partial payment with product credits will not be accepted. Product credits only convert to a dollar value when paying for a partial session of summer camp.
At Camp in 2023
- Each camp program has a product credit amount listed in the camp catalog.
- A general 5-day Juneau or Singing Hills day camp program is 500 product credits
- A general 6-day Togowoods sleepaway camp program is 750 product credits
- For other programs such as Program Aide, community day camps, wilderness programs or programs of different lengths, check the camp catalog for credit amounts.
- Product credits may also be used to pay for part of a session of camp. Credits used in this way are worth $0.40/credit at both day and sleepaway camp.
- To use product credits at camp, select “product credits” as your payment option.
