Hi Parents & Caregivers!Have you ever felt so excited that you just can’t wait? The feeling you getwhen you’re looking forward to something with friends or when you’rethinking about new and fun things that could happen? We love that feeling!At Girl Scout Camp, girls have new experiences that give them that super-excited, jumping, giggling, butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling. Experiences like exploring the outdoors, creating their own masterpiece, climbing thechallenge tower, kayaking down the river, or going on an adventure trip with new friends. Camp is designed to give every girl a chance to succeed,build friendships, challenge herself, and have fun.

Anything is possible!This summer, your camper will make new friends, have tons of fun, andhave more “wow” moments than she’s ever imagined. Anything is possible at Girl Scout Camp – the sky is the limit!

When she goes to camp… • She will grow in self-confidence and know that her voice counts.• She will support others and be supported.• She will increase her circle of friends, lead a group, follow others,

compromise, and make decisions for herself.• With other girls, she will create a community that values differences.• And, she will discover that anything is possible!

What’s in Store at Camp!Camp is a special place, full of opportunities for growth and personaldevelopment. Girls look forward to all the activities and experiences that makecamp so special. Camp emphasizes opportunities for a girl to value herself,further develop her skills, build relationships and participate in the campcommunity, appreciate the natural world, and have fun in a safe, healthyenvironment.

Girls will be taken care of by quality camp staff that truly cares, they will bunk in facilities that will provide a comfortable stay, and they will make new friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Session themes do not affect the basic camp activities (swimming, canoeing, archery, arts & crafts, etc.). Basic activities go on regardless of theme all summer. Themes affect things such as decorations, music, skits, costumes, etc.
