    5. Does going on a new adventure make you feel excited?

    Camp Fees:
    We believe that every girl, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to experience
    camp. To keep camp affordable for all families, we’ve adopted a voluntary tiered pricing structure that
    allows families to choose to pay the true cost of the Girl Scout camp expereince.

    Tier A: The actual cost for each girl to attend camp. This includes costs like program supplies, staffing,
    training, insurance, certification and inspection fees, food, and maintenance costs.

    Tier B: Camp fee that is much lower than the true cost of camp. These rates are subsidized through
    fundraising, special events, and the hard work of Girl Scouts during the Cookie Program.

    Campership
    The council has established a camp Financial Assistance fund for girls who are registered members of
    Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta and participate in the 2018 Cookie Program. This fund is supported by the
    community and individual donations for girls who are active members of our Council.

    Use Your Cookie Dough
    Cookie Dough may be used to pay for camp. Just mail in your cookie dough to apply toward your camp
    tuition. Cookie Dough cannot be refunded for cash.

    FAQs
    Q: How will my child be supervised?
    A: Camp professionals are trained to supervise campers to make sure they are properly fitted for a life
    jacket, but also making sure they are changing their clothes every day, drinking water, and applying
    sunscreen. Girl Scouts places a high priority on safety and train staff in all aspects of camp life.

    Q: How is camp staff selected and screened?
    A: Camp staff includes homegrown Girl Scouts who have many years of experience in scouting, as well as
    students from local and international universities. After references are verified, all counselors are required to
    have an interview with the Camp Director. All staff must also pass a criminal background check and attend
    staff training.

    Q: Can my camper have a buddy at camp?
    A: Campers are welcome to sign up for camp with a friend or two who are within one grade of each other
    and interested in the same session of camp. If camp buddies are different grades (for example: fourth
    and fifth grade), they will be placed in a living unit based on the younger camper’s grade. Even the best of
    friends need time to explore their individual interests and make new friends while at camp.

  • Become a respected and beloved mentor to younger girls
                                                                    young leaders
  • Work closely with camp staff
  • Gain an understanding of camp operations and learn

  Counselor-In-Training I - Grades 9-10
  In CIT I, participants will learn and practice skills needed
  to be a positive and supportive mentor to younger girls,
  while contributing to an empowering and inclusive
  community experience. CIT I provides participants
  with a balance of new knowledge and theory, ample
  opportunities to practice new skills, and a supportive,
  mentored environment to thrive!

  Counselor-In-Training II - Grades 10-12
  CIT II is the natural progression for those who have been
  successful in the CIT I experience. The CIT II level adds
  knowledge and practical experience in the extremely
  important areas of team dynamics, leadership and
  followership when working with peers, and project
  leadership/management. CIT II delivers the skills to
  move participants beyond being just strong youth leaders,
  but strong members of a mission-focused team and
  community.

  Counselor Intern - Grades 9-12
  The Counselor Intern level allows the participant who
  has successfully completed CIT I and CIT II to continue
  developing her skills and gaining experience in leadership.
  Counselor Interns will select one or more one-week periods
  of time during the summer, and will work with camp
  leadership to identify 1-2 areas to study and explore via an
  individual guided practicum during that week.
