MILWAUKEE – (September 17, 2026) – Camp is calling—and Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast (GSWISE) is inviting adults to answer with Camp Rewind, an adults-only camp experience taking place October 16-18 at Camp Silver Brook in West Bend. Designed for Girl Scout alum, community supporters, friend groups, families, and anyone ready to relive the fun of camp, Camp Rewind brings together outdoor adventure, nostalgic traditions, upgraded hospitality, and meaningful support for the next generation of Girl Scouts.

The weekend includes a two-night stay at Camp Silver Brook, meals throughout the weekend, campfires and evening activities, morning movement, crafts and SWAPs, and outdoor adventures. Saturday morning is reserved for classic camp experiences such as canoeing, hiking, watercolor painting on the beach, and other available Camp Silver Brook activities. Saturday afternoon features axe throwing, archery, and slingshots hosted by Bars & Recreation, with additional camp activities available as capacity allows.

Camp Rewind costs $275 for the full weekend and $125 for Saturday-only day camp. At the weekend rate, $50 of each registration supports Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast as a charitable contribution.

Camp Rewind begins Friday with check-in, a Mess Hall Meetup featuring shared boards and small bites, and a relaxed evening of campfire classics, s’mores, stories, music, drinks, and time under the stars. Saturday begins with breakfast, optional morning movement, and a classic camp morning featuring traditional Girl Scout camp activities, followed by a campfire cookout lunch. From 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., Bars & Rec Adventure Afternoon features axe throwing, archery, and slingshots. After Hammocks & Happy Hour and camp supper, the evening concludes with Campfire Karaoke Bingo + Cookies & Cocktails hosted by Bars & Rec, featuring karaoke bingo, Girl Scout Cookie and cocktail pairings, prizes, and a campfire. The weekend wraps Sunday with a farewell breakfast, a slow morning send-off, and time to head home with new memories.

“Camp is where so many Girl Scouts discover courage, confidence, independence, and lifelong friendship,” said Ana Simpson, Chief Executive Officer at Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast. “With Camp Rewind, we are creating space for adults to experience that camp magic again and to invest in keeping those experiences strong for girls across southeastern Wisconsin.”

Camp Rewind will take place Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Camp Silver Brook, 2561 W. Decorah Road, West Bend, WI 53095. Registration is open now. To reserve a spot or learn more, visit gswise.org.
