June 1-5, 2026
Greetings, Esteemed Friends of the Realm!
As the echoes of this year’s adventures settle, a new saga begins to unfold on the horizon. We hereby proclaim the grand theme for our next encampment in June of 2026, Howdy Quest: Forests and Fairies!
Prepare for a wondrous journey into an enchanted realm of mystical creatures, daring quests, and ancient lore.
To help us forge this magical experience, we seek your wisdom and interest. We have two paths by which you can join our cause:
1. The General Chronicle of Interest: For all noble families, potential campers, and volunteers who wish to declare their interest in attending or lending a hand in 2026. Your inscription here ensures you receive all future tidings. https://forms.gle/XRsMQRDCTfhw99fTA
2. A Summons to the Grand Council (Band/Discord): For those valiant souls who wish to join our inner circle of planners—the esteemed ‘Band’—and have a direct hand in the crafting of our quests, lore, and magical world. This path leads to our council chambers (the Band/Discord group). https://band.us/n/aba9b3C1XaV7c
Choose the path that calls to you, and we thank you for your part in our grand endeavor.

Payment for camp:
- The Girl Scout of Central Texas Doubleknot system permits credit card payments.
- To apply Program Credits to a registration, customer will have to complete a Program Credits Form. They can use this form to apply both Program Credits and Carryover to their order. Camp Howdy is listed on the list of camps on the form.
- If a troop wants to pay as a group, the girl’s caregivers would need to register (so that they receive correspondence regarding camp). The troop leader will need to contact Michele Wagner MicheleW@gsctx.org and let her know they want to pay for that girl(s). She will then refund the caregiver and take the payment from the Leader.
- Financial aid. If you need financial aid for camp, please contact one of the camp directors before 4/30/2026
Registration links
- Howdy Day Camp registration will occur in two time blocks. Because we need adult volunteers to run the camp, we need to see how many adults we have before determining how many units we can offer (we are limited to a set number of girls per number of adults). The initial time block (3/2 to 3/27) is for adult volunteers and their kids, along with Aides and AITs who help make the day camp possible. The second time block (4/1 to 4/30) is for general registration. After 5/1, we will only accept participants if the girl comes with a full-time adult volunteer and with the OK of Directors, SU Leads, and Registrars.
- 3/2 to 3/27: Howdy Quest: Forest & Fairies Early Registration
- Early Registration for Volunteer Families, Aides, and AITs.
- 4/1 to 4/30: Howdy Quest: Forest & Fairies General Registration
- General Registration Window for remaining open spots
- Note, CAMPER registration is not considered complete until all forms and payments are made. If you have not provided these items by April 30 you may be dropped. You need to mail the Howdy Health Forms to:
- HDC Registrar
- PO BOX 230
