Health & Safety Safety is our top priority at camp. We are proud to be able to say that in the past 2 years we ran successful, COVID-free camp sessions at both of our facilities. We made accommodations that ensured the health and well-being of all campers, families, and staff. We know that children need camp now more than ever and we accomplished all of these things while upholding our standards of quality care and outdoor fun! • Our staff completed courses and took part in webinars that were offered by the American Camp Association and other organizations that focused on keeping all campers safe during the summer. • We limit the size of our units to optimize social distancing practices while keeping quality fun! • Drop-off is carpool-line style. Upon arrival, we ask families to complete a brief health survey and take temperatures of campers. Campers sanitize their hands before they enter camp. • A group (unit) will travel together for their activities and stay together all week and will not co-mingle with other cohorts. Campers sanitize their hands after each activity. • All equipment and areas are sanitized after each use. • Pick-up is structured so adults will stay in their cars and have their campers brought to them. • If your camper is ill or injured and needs to be sent home, you will be called and are required to make arrangements for your child to be picked up in a reasonable amount of time. • If a child is ill, shows flu-like symptoms, has a fever or is vomiting, the camper MUST be picked up and cannot return to camp until she/he is symptom-free for 72 hours without medication. 4 CAMP AMITY ACRES | CAMP SACAJAWEA
Daily Activities: Each camp day includes swimming, a visit to our trading post to purchase ice cream and a selection of additional activities. Additional activities throughout the week include: • Adventure Elements: Trust and teamwork are essential in life. Throughout our programming activities, we foster an environment that showcases the importance of working together in a fun and challenging way. Activity areas include a combination of zipline, climbing wall, ropes, and team-building based on age progression. • Archery: Bullseye! With the help of a certified instructor, campers will get the opportunity to learn how to use a bow and improve their shooting technique safely. • Arts & Crafts: A variety of artistic mediums are explored at camp. Young artists also have the chance to paint, draw and complete classic camp crafts. • Boating: Under the supervision of trained specialists, campers learn how to boat and canoe safely as they paddle or row across the lake. • Girl Scout Badges: Exclusive to Girl Scout Camp! Girls in kindergarten through eighth grade can earn Girl Scout badges/petals to place on their uniforms and wear all year round. These badges are exclusive to basic camp sessions. All badges are listed on our activity grid and can be purchased through our registration portal. • Nature Exploration: Through hands-on interactive learning activities campers discover the unique eco-system of camp and the plants and animals that inhabit it. • Swimming: Take a dip in our Cedar Lake at Camp Amity Acres or make a splash in our pool at Camp Sacajawea! Every day, our campers have the opportunity to cool off while playing with their friends or swimming on their own. GSfun.org/camp | 800.785.2090 5

Leadership Opportunities Girl Scout Camp is where girls thrive in the great outdoors, take on new challenges and gain leadership skills that last a lifetime. Girls who grew up at either of the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore day camps enjoy sharing their love of camp with the younger girls who follow in their footsteps. Leadership opportunities for these girls are available during specific weeks of camp. Camp Program Aide (CPA) Training: Girls entering eighth grade and above, can take part in our two-week Camp Program Aide Training which is the first step in bridging the gap from being a camper to becoming a future counselor. This is a progression based experience that prepares girls for roles in youth leadership in and outside of camp. Girls will explore what it means to be a leader and learn more about themselves in the process. They will learn outdoor skills, problem solving, and conflict resolution. There is a strong emphasis on the learn-by doing philosophy under the supervision of our experienced staff. Upon successful completion of CPA training, girls may be invited to volunteer for up to two CPA Mentorship weeks and receive their Program Aide Pin. • Camp Amity Acres, Week 4 & 5: July 11-15 and 18-22, 2022 • Camp Sacajawea, Week 4 & 5: July 11-15 and 18-22, 2022 CPA Mentorship (Week 1-9): Our CPA Mentorship program gives girls who have completed CPA training the opportunity to share their leadership and outdoor skills with younger campers under the guidance Cultivate your Girl Scout Power: Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors of experienced camp staff. are invited to join us for a week of exploring where food comes from, tracing the carbon footprint of each meal, and finding out how to reduce that CPA Specialization: After successful completion of the CPA Lead- footprint.
