Dear Girl Scout Families,
Whether you and your Girl Scout are just beginning to explore all that GSCWM has to offer,
or you’re practically an expert when it comes to the great outdoors, you know about the life-
changing, memory-making awesomeness that is camp. There are exciting opportunities at camp
for all girls to unplug, learn new skills, discover their sense of self, and exercise independence
in a safe, girl-led environment. With camp experiences packed full of Girl Scout tradition—and
exciting activities from boating and swimming to high adventure and STEM—there’s something
waiting for every girl at camp this year!

Today, girls live in a world of screens—smartphones, laptops and TV—and sometimes they just
want and need to get away from it all. That’s why camp is a magical experience; an opportunity
to truly escape and focus on building courage, confidence and character. Build a campfire,
pitch a tent or canoe across a lake. Explore the outdoors in the wetlands, complete a challenge
course and shoot a bulls-eye in archery. Attending camp is consistently cited as girls’ favorite
memories of their Girl Scout years and is one of my favorite memories of being a Girl Scout
for 30 years. By sending your girl to camp, she will develop leadership and outdoor skills and
develop a deep appreciation for our natural world. Girl Scout camp gives girls an opportunity to
grow, explore and have fun under the guidance of caring, trained adults.

When your camper attends one of our G.I.R.L.-Tastic camps, she joins 100 years of sisterhood
and tens of thousands of Girl Scouts (including many of our summer staff members!) who have
found lifelong friendships, discovered their strengths, challenged themselves, made lasting
memories, and returned home with an all-new love for our amazing outdoors. So give your girl
the gift of camp—you’ll be amazed at what a little time outdoors does to develop her courage
and confidence, from the classroom to the boardroom and beyond.
I can’t wait to see you this summer and discover the magic of camp together!

ACA ACCREDITATION AND SAFETY/HEALTH REGULATIONS
Accreditation means that the camp undergoes a thorough review process by outside camping
professionals every five years (last on site visit was in 2017 for CBB, 2018 for CGE and CLP.) The American
Camp Association is the world’s premier organization dedicated to promoting the safety and quality of
camp programs. Camp Bonnie Brae, Camp Green Eyrie, and Camp Lewis Perkins are proud to be accredited
by the American Camp Association (ACA) and meet its high standards for program design and activities,
site and food service, transportation, health and wellness, operation management, and human resources.
However, all GSCWM camps maintain the same high levels of safety and quality in camp programming by
following ACA guidelines. In addition to the safety guidelines outlined by the American Camp Association
and Girl Scouts of the USA, all GSCWM camps comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department
of Public Health and are licensed by local boards of health. For more information about these state
regulations, call 617-624-5757.

GIRL WITH SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS:
Girl Scouts want all girls to have the opportunity for a great camp experience, and we will do our best
to accommodate all Girl Scout campers. Campers with special accommodations can have a positive
camp experience if the caregiver communicates with the camp administrator and their staff prior to
camp. If your camper has any special medical, physical, emotional, developmental, social or other special
circumstances, please contact the GSCWM Program Manager Katie Chappell, at kchappell@gscwm.org or
508-749-3604 to discuss any concerns before registering for camp to see which program may best serve
your Girl Scout.

OPEN HOUSES:
We believe that camp has positive impacts on our G.I.R.L.s, and we also believe that there is something
about being in the outdoors where you make new friends, try new things, and laugh until you cry that
speaks to The POWER of CAMP …. Come explore camp with your family during our open house session,
learn a few camp songs and have s’mores. Members of our camp team are available to answer any
questions. This is a great way to see what camp looks like before the summer begins! Open houses and

OUR DAY CAMPS
 EACH OF OUR CAMPS IS SPECIAL AND UNIQUE
   WITH A VARIETY OF PROGRAM OPTIONS.
                                           Camp Laurel Wood
   Come be a part of day camp at Camp Laurel Wood, located in Spencer. Enjoy swimming and boating
 on Stiles Reservoir, archery and games in the A-Field, and hiking to the Wesley Center. Be sure to check
    out our new Gaga Pit and learn new games. Through girl-led programming, girls will get a chance to
  experience everything camp has to offer and enjoy activates relating to each theme week. Make new
 friends, learn new skills, and be one with nature at camp. Camp Laurel Wood is also home to GSCWM’s
                                             History Museum.

                                          Camp Lewis Perkins
  Join us at Camp Lewis Perkins, located near downtown South Hadley, but feels like a world a way. At
  camp, girls will have the chance to explore all that the fields, woodlands and trails have to offer. Play
  teambuilding games in the field, make nature art under the trees, enjoy the new Gaga Pit or learn to
 shoot a bow and arrow at the archery range. Take a dip in the in-ground pool, build your own campfire
 and spend an evening under the stars. Girls will challenge themselves to take risks and try new things,
             learn songs and explore the traditions of camp in our fun-filled camp sessions.

                                            Camp Green Eyrie
Explore everything Green Eyrie has to offer! Girls have been swimming, boat, roasting marshmallows and
making new friends at Camp Green Eyrie, located in Harvard, since it opened in 1925. Challenge yourself
   and your team on our ropes course, have fun in the new Gaga Pit or take a shot at the archery range.
    Launch your kayak on Bare Hill pond, and then learn about the mysteries of water in the Sara Hardy
 Science Center at Chenowith. Sing traditional camp songs around the fire, voyage into the forests and
  fields and play new and old games in the field. Girls will forge new friendships, enjoy new adventures
                        and have an unforgettable summer at camp Green Eyrie

                                            Camp Bonnie Brae
Join us at the nation’s longest, continuously operating Girl Scout Camp as we celebrate our 100th season.
At Camp Bonnie Brae girls will get the best of both worlds by choosing either Day or Overnight camp. For
our day camp session, after arriving at camp girls will individually choose activities that could range from
 spending the entire afternoon at the waterfront, exploring their creative side in arts & crafts, or mixing it
  up with a trip to the archery range and badge work. It’s their time to spend how they want. Explore the
 traditions of friendships, girl led programming, island swims, our new Gaga Pit and so much more. Girls
   who attend Camp Bonnie Brae will get the chance to join a century of tradition, girl power and camp
                                                    magic.
