Welcome Campers

Whether this is your first year participating in a unit or your last, this summer will be another fun adventure.

What Will I Do At Camp?

A typical unit works to earn their patch try-it or badge, sings songs, plays games, has snacks, goes on nature walks and gets to participate in arts and crafts projects. Older campers are also allowed to have access to an extended set of hiking trails, archery and a sleepover under the stars.

A unit has two leaders and two PA's, giving the unit four strong, excited-to-be-there older figures. The unique experience of day camp is an amazing one that every girl would love.

What Should I Bring?

There are a handful of necessities to have a fun day at camp every day of the week. These items include:

backpack or day pack
sack lunch & healthy snacks
appropriate clothing for weather conditions
close-toed shoes are required - tennis shoes or boots preferred. DO NOT wear sandals, flip-flops, water socks, clogs, shoes with no backs or shoes with hole designs.
sunscreen or bug spray - not to be shared with other campers
a mess kit on the day or days your unit is cooking lunch (the kit can be as simple as a paper plate, fork and a napkin in a ziploc bag).

We ask that you do not bring electronics, medications or extra items that are unnecessary. Medications should be turned in to the camp nurse/first aider and campers can see the nurse/first aider to take medications as needed throughout the day.

Junior Overnight

Sleeping under the stars in the meadow, seeing shooting stars, listening to bull frogs, crickets and other night time sounds are all part of the overnight experience. There is also a night time ceremony at Council Fire that all campers participate in with songs, skits and a bonfire.

The overnight is on Thursday, July 22, 2010. Girls entering 4th grade or higher in the fall of 2010 are invited to join the overnight. There is a theme dinner on Thursday, and breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided for the overnight campers on Friday.

At the beginning of camp, a letter along with a permission slip will be sent home with the camper. Girls need to return that permission slip as soon as possible. The letter will detail what items the campers should or should not bring. A warm sleeping bag, a small tarp and warm PJ's/sweats are a must. Electronics and food are not to be sent with the campers for the overnight. Food in the meadow would only encourage "critters" to visit the meadow while everyone is sleeping.

If it is raining the day of the overnight, the overnight will be cancelled. If it starts to rain during the overnight, the Directors have a backup plan for the evacuation of the meadow and the girls will stay at camp.

To be allowed to spend the night, your child needs a permission slip.
