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. Attend a day event at camp. (See Adventures Plus at GetYourGirlPower.org for dates that events are taking place at Enjoy a mini overnight camp.

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.

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. Find a camp near you at GetYourGirlPower.org. You don’t have to be a Girl Scout to come to camp! 5
