What Makes Our Camps Different?
            We want your girl to love the outdoors and camp as much as we do! To build that love,
            a progression into the outdoors and camp is important. Progression allows girls to learn
            the skills and become comfortable in the outdoor activities. This progress is to happen at
            a girls pace, let her tell you when she is ready for the next step. It could be next week or
            next year.

            The Proof is in the Research! Did You Know?
    Camp builds problem-solvers! Girls with more frequent outdoor experiences are more likely to seek
    challenges and are better at solving problems—qualities that will help them embark on a lifetime of
    leadership, both academically and personally.
    Camp exposes girls to new experiences! Of girls surveyed, 72 percent said that Girl Scouts gave them
    the chance to build their skills or try new outdoor activities.
    Camp builds courage and confidence! Spending time in nature improves a girl’s concentration and
    creative reasoning. Outdoor experiences also help promote healthy social development and increase her
    self-esteem.

Camp is a safe, inclusive space where girls can be free to be themselves! Camp fosters collaboration
instead of competition, enabling girls to stretch beyond their limits! At camp we encourage girl-led
activities, learning by doing, and cooperative learning.

                                                                                                                           4

Activity Progression
  Activities at GSCI Camp are designed to be progressive--new challenges and new activities become available
  as campers attend more camp sessions and gain more skills. This ensures campers are both staying safe and
  continuing to learn and try new things every year at camp. It also keeps camp engaging and FUN! This means
  campers in the first grade may do substantially different activities from middle school campers. Read more about
  some of our favorite outdoor activities below. View the description for your session to see what activities campers
  will be doing during specific weeks.

        All campers participate in girl planning on the first day of camp. Each group discusses what activities they
        want to do at camp. We encourage girls to come with some ideas in mind and be creative! Maybe you want
        your group to write and perform a play? Maybe you want to create a camp-wide scavenger hunt for other
        groups? Maybe you want to have a costume party in the lodge? Maybe you want to make sure some camp
        classics are done as well--archery, tie dye, friendship bracelets, stargazing and night hike? Bring it up during
        Girl Planning and your counselors will attempt to work it into your schedule. Girl planning helps girls take
        ownership of their experience while promoting collaboration and teamwork.
        While we do our best to include all Girl Planning ideas and requests, if you want assurance that you will do a
        particular activity while at camp, be sure it is in your session description or contact your camp director to see
        if it is possible.

Trading Post: Camp Preparation

       Camp Adventure
      Care Package - $33
A special gift for your camper, complete with a
personalized message, which will be included with
your camper’s care package.

Quantities are limited, so order early! Orders must
be received at least two weeks prior to the camp
session.

If you don’t want the bag, no worries, we will have
plenty of items for your camper to choose from
in our trading post. Girls can choose from camp
themed plush animals, jewelry, apparel and other
fun items while they are at camp.

  Campers can learn about budgeting and bring home camp keepsakes or pick up forgotten camp gear (water
   bottles, bandanas, etc.) with a visit to our Camp Trading Post during their time at camp. To keep all camper
    possessions secure, any cash, checks, or cookie dough must be deposited into the campers trading post
                               account during the registration or check-in process.

                                         Did You Know?!
      Girl Scout programming is powered by the Girl Scout Cookie Program. The Cookie Program helps to
          upkeep our camp properties. And is a great way for girls to help pay for their camp session.

   Yes, Cookie Dough can be applied as payment for any camp session or be used in the Trading Post.
        (Please note, the $25 must be paid in cash, but Cookie Dough can be applied for the remaining balance.)
                       Let’s do the math...
                       300 boxes could pay for one person to attend troop or family camp
                       500 boxes could pay for a week of community day camp
                       600 boxes could pay for one week of day camp at Kiwanis, Tapawingo, or Widjiwagan
                       1000 boxes could pay for a week of mini-resident camp
                       1000 boxes could pay for a full week overnight camp IF you pick $150 cookie dough
                             at the 1000 box level
                       1300 boxes could pay for a week of equestrian overnight camp
                       2000 boxes could pay for a two-week travel camp
                       Plus you still get all the patches and incentives!
Don’t forget to bring any remaining Cookie Dough to camp to spend in the Trading Post on a new camp t-shirt!
