Howdy Day Camp - Retro Howdy
We are using Doubleknot to manage registrations. If you already have a Doubleknot login from last year, please use that login again. If you do not have a Doubleknot login, you can create one during the registration by selecting "Create New User Profile" when you get to the Login screen. Do not attempt to login with your MyGS logon. You will not find this registration in your MyGS account when completed. MyGS is related to gsEvents, not Doubleknot.

For: Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, Ambassador, Adult Volunteers. (Girls must be registered Girl Scouts to attend.)
Experience the best of Camp Howdy's past and present! Join the circus, explore nature, venture into space, and compete in the Howdy Games.

Older camper opportunities: In addition to the Campers, we will need older girls to be Aides-in-Training, and Aides and older boys to be Wrangler-in Training and Wranglers.

Registration closes on 5/1/25 (other than for those that the director approves). After this date Contact Director for registration link. Late registration for adults will be accepted to help move campers from waitlist to units. We have had to re-open registration in special cases. This is to ensure that we have enough Adult Volunteers to maintain our safety wise numbers. The above information and more can be found on our website .
