Sandy Ridge, owned and operated by Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina, is our resident camp located
in Marlboro County, near Bennettsville, SC. The camp is on 500 acres of beautiful sand hills. With a capacity
of over 100 girls per week, Sandy Ridge is the perfect place to spend some of your summer break. Facilities
include a swimming pool, two lakes, watercraft, an archery range, sports field, a clay pit, and an air conditioned
dining hall. Three of our living units are air conditioned by window units and our fourth living unit is cooled
by ceiling fans. Sandy Ridge is highly accredited by the American Camp Association. Accreditation means
Sandy Ridge has undergone a thorough review of more than 250 standards, evaluating everything from staff
qualifications and training to emergency management.

Sandy Ridge offers camp experiences for all girls’ ages 6 through 17. Camps are listed in the camp guide
according to the week a specific program is offered. Please note that camp registration is based on a
girl’s age, not their grade level. We recommend finding the week or weeks your girl can attend camp and
reading through the available programs with her, and then registering early. Many programs will fill up quickly.
Please remember you do not have to be a current Girl Scout to register for camp at Sandy Ridge. There
is an additional $30 registration fee for girls who are not current Girl Scouts and it pays for their Girl Scout
registration through September 30, 2018. Many of our campers’ only Girl Scout experience is at Sandy Ridge
each summer, and they are not involved in a Troop for the remaining months of their membership.

                                                                                                2018 Summer Camp Guide   1
2018 G.I.R.L. Summer Camp Guide - Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina
Welcome to the
          Summer of G.I.R.L. Power!
          As we begin to think of another summer and all that means with camp, our thoughts turn to the magic that
          the camp experience brings.

          Camp is the time when you challenge yourself. You push a little harder, you reach a little higher, and you step
          out of your own comfort zone a little farther and in doing that, you grow!

          You will explore and know the Power of G.I.R.L. - Go-Getter, Innovator, Risk-Taker, and Leader. You may be one
          of these or you may be more than one of these! You will have the opportunity to develop the strong, powerful
          skills that set you apart going forward.

          Camp gives you life-changing experiences that you might not otherwise have: leading a llama, learning
          survival skills, and teamwork skills. You might pick up where you left off last summer with swimming, zip-lining,
          canoeing or even discovering your talents as an artist. And many of you will try these things for the very first
          time. You can come back from camp with new skills in archery, team building, dancing, or acting. The nights
          you spend at the campfire singing camp songs with all your friends and favorite counselors will be some of
          the best and sweetest memories you make in your lifetime.

          You will get in touch with the best of yourself and all your strengths. You will challenge your obstacles and
          overcome fears. And you will do this with your best camp friends. You will leave camp knowing what it’s like to
          be your best as a G.I.R.L. You will have the opportunity to explore being a Go-Getter. You can find out all the
          ways you’re a true Innovator. You will show yourself and your friends how you’re a Risk-taker. You will become
          a stronger Leader. You can explore all aspects of G.I.R.L. And you will never have more FUN than doing all of
          this at camp.

          Go ahead and get excited! Summer 2018 has more opportunities for fun, learning and taking advantage of all
          that Girl Scouting has to offer at Sandy Ridge. See you at camp!

2018 G.I.R.L. Summer Camp Guide - Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina
Hello Campers and Parents,
As we head into 2018, I am getting super excited about our Sandy Ridge camp schedule. It
is going to be a summer of G.I.R.L. Power! As you look through the camp guide you will notice
more programs than ever, focusing on STEM, Outdoor Skills, Travel, and even SCUBA Diving.

The camp staff and I promise to always do our best to make your girls time at Sandy Ridge memorable
and rewarding. We have seen so many improvements at Sandy Ridge during the six years I have been here. We will
continue to grow and make improvements and be your girls’ home away from home.

I want to take a moment to talk about something that keeps me up at night…bullying. I see it more and more in
schools, sporting events, and even here at Sandy Ridge. The camp staff and I work extremely hard to stop the
bullying at camp. We are trained, by an outside expert, on understanding and stopping bullying. I am asking for your
help with this matter. Please talk with your girl about bullying before she comes to camp. Sandy Ridge has a zero
tolerance policy on bullying. With your help we will overcome this and help girls live the Girl Scout Law and be a
sister to every Girl Scout. Thank you again for choosing and supporting Sandy Ridge.

See you at camp!

                     I’m excited to return to Sandy Ridge for the second year as Assistant Camp Director. I am
                         looking forward to all of the new adventures that await us this summer. As you will see
                       when you look at this camp guide, we have expanded our Specialty Camp schedule and
                           lots of girls will be out and about throughout the Southeast. We are also bringing an
                                                                 “in-house” adventure with our Scuba On camps.

               I have learned to push my limits and thrive on my accomplishments by spending time at camp.
    I love seeing all of the girls, facing their fears, trying new things, pushing their boundaries, and being able to
build their confidence. They are able to shine and be those Go-Getters, Innovators, Risk-Takers and Leaders I
see each and every day at camp. I am looking forward to seeing our G.I.R.L.’s this summer at camp and seeing
                                                                             what adventure they will want to explore.

                                                                                                  See you at camp!

Is Your Camper Ready For Camp?
                                                   This is a question many parents struggle with when sending their
                                                   girl to camp. Some things to consider are:
                                                   How long can you manage without your child?
                                                   What is the longest length of time she has been away
                                                   from home?
                                                   How does she deal with being away from home?
                                                   Do you usually have to go and pick her up early when
                                                   she is away from home?
                                                   Does she think she can stay at camp for a week?
                                                   After considering these questions, talk with your girl and decide if
                                                   it is the right time for her. If you need more information, a checklist

members participate in an intensive onsite training
program prior to camp and ongoing evaluations
throughout the summer. The Camp Director and
Assistant Camp Director are highly trained and are
specialized in their fields. They have spent all year
preparing for the resident camp season. All staff
members are dedicated to making resident camp a
positive, wonderful, and memorable experience for
your camper.

Health and Safety
Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina does not
require campers attending summer resident camp
to have a physical examination. We do require
a Health History Form (completed by parent/
guardian) and a current immunization record
(or immunization waiver). The Health History
Form is included in your camper’s confirmation
packet. If your camper does not have a completed
Health History Form and immunization record (or
immunization waiver) at Check-In, she will not be
able to stay at camp until they are turned in. Please
bring the Health History Form with you to Check-
In. Do not mail this form to any of the Girl Scout
offices or to Sandy Ridge. The staff members who
work with your camper are trained in basic first aid
and CPR. A health supervisor is on hand to care
for campers with more severe illnesses or injuries.
There is also a physician on call for the entire camp
season. If your camper becomes ill while at camp,
you will be notified in order to determine a course
of action. All medications are kept in a locked
cabinet in the health center and are dispensed
by the health supervisor. Accommodations can
be made for girls with special needs. Three well
balanced meals are served each day in the Dining
Hall. The Camp Director will work with parents
to accommodate special dietary needs when
given advance notice. We ask that specialty food
items be provided by the families. These items
will be stored in the kitchen. Contact Chuck Iler at
customercare@girlscoutsesc.org or 843-479-6814
to discuss any needed accommodations.
