Important Announcement Regarding 2026 Summer Camp
Girl Scouts of Southeastern Michigan (GSSEM) has made the difficult decision to cancel all summer camp sessions for the 2026 season.
June 05, 2026
GSSEM has made the difficult decision to cancel all summer camp sessions for the 2026 season.
Due to unexpected staffing shortages and delayed repairs to important sewerage warning systems, we are not certain that GSSEM can safely and effectively operate summer camp this year.
For several weeks, GSSEM has been working with the appropriate contractors and the state of Michigan to resolve an issue related to our sewerage pump warning systems. Repairs have been delayed, and work to resolve the issue is ongoing. Also, as of June 5, 2026, summer camp staffing levels will not be adequate to operate summer camp. We anticipated the sewerage pump warning system repairs would be completed prior to the start of summer camp, but this issue, combined with unexpected staffing challenges, has led us to the unfortunate decision to cancel summer camp this season.
All camp registrations will be refunded immediately. Girls who earned the camp reward will be issued a gift card in the equivalent amount.
We apologize for any inconvenience these late developments have caused. Everyone at GSSEM is disappointed that we are unable to hold summer camp this season.
If you have questions regarding your refund, please contact Ismahan Ali at iali@gssem.org. Questions about camp reward reimbursements should be directed to Denise Minoletti at dminoletti@gssem.org.
