Discover the heart of your community with Girl Scouts After Dark!
This exciting evening camp offers girls the chance to explore local
businesses and iconic landmarks-all after hours. Through guided tours,
fun activities, and engaging stories, you'll gain a deeper
understanding of how our town operates and the important places that
make it special. Perfect for curious minds and adventure seekers,
Summer Twilight Camp provides a unique opportunity to learn, explore,
and connect.
What to Expect on Day 1
As night falls, girls will take part in a guided ghost tour through some of Bakersfield's most iconic and mysterious locations. Prior to that, we will be stopping for dinner to prep ourselves up for the mysteries ahead. Stops may include well-known sites such as The Padre Hotel, The Bakersfield Californian Building, and The Nile Theater, each with its own fascinating stories and lingering legends.
Along the way, girls will hear about the spirits and stories said to still reside in these historic spaces, gaining insight into how history, emotion, and storytelling intertwine
With guidance and support throughout the evening, this after-dark event will empower girls to step outside their comfort zones, embrace curiosity, and create lasting memories with their peers.
Throughout the evening, girls will:
