Did you go to camp when you were a child? Do you remember that first night – the smell of s’mores by the fire, sleeping without a nightlight, and seeing the stars shining brightly overhead? The camp experience is unique, and we can’t wait to share it with your daughter! She’ll meet new people, learn unique skills, and create memories that will last a lifetime. For many girls, camp is the first time away from home and their family. It’s the ultimate characterbuilding experience – a safe place for your daughter to learn responsibility, and be empowered to take care of herself. Under the guidance of caring, trained adults, she’ll learn independence by waking up on her own, making her bed, attending activities on time, and keeping track of her belongings – things some girls have never done before. Our activities were developed by girls and include topics that they care about and want to participate in. With the help of our hardworking staff and team of volunteers, our program is specifically molded to each individual age and grade level. Whether it’s swimming, hiking, acting, or archery, we have a menu of activities to create wonderful memories in a caring and supportive community. Every girl deserves a chance to camp. Camperships are available to ensure girls needing financial assistance can participate. Whether she attends for a day, a week, or longer, Girl Scout camp will give your daughter an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun. We’ll teach her how to be courageous, confident, and full of character, while making the world a better place. Whichever opportunity she chooses, we’re confident she will have a magical summer adventure—and that you’ll be amazed at all she’s learned.

Our camps offer a wide variety of opportunities so you and your child can find the perfect camp experience!

Summer camp is a place where great memories are made and kept. We pride ourselves on giving your child a unique experience for her to live and grow. While girls are having fun at camp, we are sure to keep the Girl Scout Mission, Promise, Law, and goals in mind at all times. GIRL SCOUT GOALS Through Girl Scout summer camp girls will participate in activities that help them achieve goals which are: • Girls will understand themselves and their values. • Girls will use their knowledge and skills to explore the world. • Girls will care about, inspire, and team with others locally and globally. • Girls will act to make the world a better place. EQUAL ACCESS No one shall be denied admission to our camp(s) or to the benefit of our U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition program(s) because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap or age, providing specific program requirements are met. GIRLS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS We seek to provide an inclusive environment. Campers requiring special accommodations, meals, equipment or staffing should notify the regional Girl Scout Center in writing and send complete information with her registration(s).

BUDDIES If your camper has a special buddy who is in the same grade level with whom she wants to share her camp experience, please follow these guidelines to assure placement of your camper and her buddy together: • Buddy pairs are placed when two girls request each other on their registration. Please limit requests to one buddy. • Buddies must sign up for the same camp program. Remember that buddies are not a requirement. Many campers come to camp without a buddy and make new friends quickly. 55 TRANSPORTATION Parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from all camps except for Camp Butterworth Day Camp where busing is available (see pg 22). Carpooling is encouraged. A photo ID is required to pick up a child from camp. For out-of-camp trips requiring transportation, campers are driven in council-owned or leased vehicles by staff members who are at least 21 years old and who have completed special transportation training and motor vehicle background checks. Seat belts are worn at all times. HEALTH CARE In a conscious effort to provide a safe and healthy environment for all campers, we require campers to provide the following: • Resident Camp - A physical exam completed within 12 months of the camper’s stay at camp is necessary for campers, including adult volunteers, who attend resident camp. Health exam forms must be signed by a licensed physician. If a girl arrives at camp without a signed health examination form she will be sent home. Please don’t forget this vital requirement! • Special Summer Events, Troop Adventure Camp and Day Camp - A health history must be provided that is current within six months, unless otherwise specified. GENERAL INFORMATION The Privacy Act of 2001 protects all personal and medical information. The disclosure of confidential information is only available to health personnel. It is the camper’s responsibility to provide this information for each session they attend as forms are not transferred to another camping session and are not available from previous years. We encourage you to make copies of each form before you bring them to camp. All camps have staff members who are First Aid and CPR certified. CAMP KAPERS Kapers are chores girls share while attending camp. Each staff member will model and teach campers proper ways to care for the environment and their camp surroundings. Each unit is responsible for the upkeep and cleaning of their area, and for additional daily camp responsibilities. This may include cleaning the dining hall, latrines, bathhouse, the grounds and other areas. Girls are closely monitored to make sure that established health and safety procedures are used in completing cleaning tasks. CAMP FEES We work hard to offer summer camp opportunities at the lowest possible rates. We have been able to maintain fundraising efforts and minimize expenses in an effort to offer camp opportunities to girls at about half the actual cost.

Older girl troops may be placed in cabins only after all Girl Scout Brownie troops are placed. Platform Tent Units: Sleep in a unit of large canvas tents on wooden platforms. Each tent includes four cots and mattresses within easy access to the kitchen shelter and fire ring. Leaders stay in the unit, but in their own tent separate from the girls. Meals are served family style in the dining hall. Troops have the option to request cooking out over the fire.

These day camps are run exclusively by volunteers and range in length, time of day and cost. At day camp, girls will discover, connect and take action as they learn to live the Girl Scout Promise and Law and make a difference in the world. They will discover their values and talents through a variety of outdoor activities. Girls will also connect with other girls and adults, learn how to work together as a team and take action and make the world a better place. 36 We hope you will see the value in this progressive opportunity, and will help keep the history and tradition of the day camp alive by volunteering at camp with your Girl Scout.
