Girl Scouts of Northern California - San Francisco Bay Area have a cool opportunity available to them: Girls Go Tech at NASA Ames Research Center. The program runs from 22 June to 28 June 2008.
Registration is open to girls entering grades 9-12. Participants choose to attend the Aeronautics Institute, Robotics Institute or Astrobiology Institute. They then explore their chosen topic with other high school girls and get a taste of how things are done the NASA way.
I don't know if this is quite as interesting as the mosquitoes and poison ivy and sunburn that I was accustomed to at Boy Scout camp, but on the other hand... it's a one-week resident program at NASA. We'll call it even. In any case, applications are due by 23 May 2008 for participants.
Additionally, if you're not in grades 9 through 12, it appears that the organization is offering volunteer and paid positions to assist the program.
