Give the gift of camp
Financial assistance, called a Campership, is
partially underwritten by GSSJC. The remainder of
the money comes from donations. Anyone wishing
to make a contribution to the Campership Fund
may send a check to: GSSJC, Campership Fund,
3110 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX 77098.
Please indicate that this is the fund to which
you wish to contribute by writing “campership
donation” on the memo line. Your contribution is
tax deductible. In addition, support of the annual
Girl Scout Cookie Sale enables GSSJC to offer
quality camp programs for less than the actual
cost of camp operations.
