The Girl Scouts of Suffolk County (GSSC) will host its annual Holiday Light Show, which returns to Camp Edey in Bayport for an expanded, magical walk-through experience, Thursdays through Sundays from November 28 to December 21, 2025. The winter wonderland will open with a celebratory countdown before the first night of the show on November 28 @ 5 pm. Camp Edey is located at 1500 Lakeview Ave., Bayport, NY 11705.
Launched more than 20 years ago, the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County Holiday Light Show has grown into a Long Island tradition — transforming the scenic grounds of Camp Edey into an “Enchanted Forest” of lights.
The highlight of the show will be “Girl Scout Way,” an area where the five winning creations from the 2025 Girl Scouts Holiday Light Design Contest will be on display. Each design was drawn by a Girl Scout and then custom-built by the groundkeepers at Camp Edey in creations spanning six to twelve feet tall.
The 2025 Girl Scouts Holiday Light Design Contest winners are:
Penelope Alambra, Smithtown, Troop 358, Brownie
Amani Bradley-Coleman, Sienna Lebron, Teresa Cortez, Natalia Ciborowski, Kaylee Jimenez, Kiera Green-Wilson, Maggie Ericson, Bomi Oyewo, Hanmi Oyewo, Lindenhurst, Troop 506, Multi-Level
Ciara Weisbecker, Babylon, SU 14 (Juliette), Senior
Olivia Castelli, Patchogue, Troop 1400, Cadette
Sadie Ciesinski, Melville, Troop 103, Junior
“This event is a beautiful example of how Girl Scouts combine imagination, leadership, and community spirit to shine light—literally and figuratively—on the holiday season,” said Tammy Severino, President & CEO of Girl Scouts of Suffolk County. “We are proud to showcase these designs and give visitors a chance to see the girls’ ideas brought to life in lights.”
Among the special features at this year’s Holiday Lights Show:
A new “Cozy Bungalow Package” with admission for up to five guests in a private winter-themed bungalow plus food vouchers, offered at a special rate. Themes include Nordic Nest (Scandinavian, rustic, snowy lodge), Holly Jolly Hut (traditional red and green Christmas décor), Gumdrop Cottage (candy-colored fun straight from a storybook and gingerbread-inspired décor), and Starlight Shack (twinkle lights and a starry winter’s night with touches of snowflakes).
The “Chill Zone” returns, with lawn games, fire-pit warmth, and hot-cocoa treats courtesy of First-Class Food Trucks.
Visits with Santa Claus!
The event is open to the public, and ticket prices start at $12.50. Tickets and Cozy Bungalow reservations must be purchased in advance on the Girl Scouts of Suffolk County website: http://www.gssclightshow.org.
