WHY GIRL SCOUT CAMP IS RIGHT FOR HER
At Girl Scout camp, we’re deploying new ways to test girls’ determination and develop their imagination
while building inner strength. The camp community encourages teamwork while growing independence
- girls become more responsible for themselves and for others. Our camps are where girls get to try
new things and overcome fears while gaining confidence. It’s where girls will make new friends in an
environment just for girls.
This book lists all summer programs for girls currently in grades K-5.

Long summer days packed with excitement
and challenges. Leisurely star-lit nights
shared around a campfire.
The overnights spent at Girl Scout camp
are consistently cited as girls’ favorite
memories of their Girl Scout years.
Resident camps Ehawee and Black Hawk are accredited by
the American Camp Association (ACA). Accreditation is earned
only after successfully meeting ACA’s high standards during
an extensive review. These strict requirements are recognized
nationally. Additionally, all camps including Brandenburg, White
Pines Ranch, Eagle Bluff and Stronghold Camp meet safety
standards set forth by Girl Scouts of the USA and county and
state regulations.

HERE’S A NEW TOOL FOR PARENTS:
Introducing “Levels”
An easy way to assess how adventurous each camp will be
At Girl Scouts, all programming is ‘progressive’. That means the activities and experiences build on each other - as she
gains new knowledge or a new skill she then is ready to take the next step and ‘progress’ to a higher level of activity or
experience. In the Girl Scout Camp World, the lingo for this is Outdoor Experience Progression. In a nutshell, it means that
your girl may be ready for a Level 1 experience or Level 3 or even a Level 5. You are the expert on your girl and her level of
adventurousness; use the Level Guide as a tool to help determine which camp is right for her. Review the chart below to
help you gauge which level camps your girl is ready to tackle. All the programs in this Camp Book are assigned a level. If
you have questions about Camp Program Levels, please connect with us anytime: info@gsbadgerland.org.

Resident & Sleepaway
Camp Life Details
Health and Safety
Our camps meet stringent county, state and national standards. Camp Ehawee, our resident camp, is accredited
by the American Camp Association meeting all safety guidelines. When your girl is at camp, a health supervisor is
always on duty.
Our Camp Staff
All staff members go through an intense screening, selection and training process. Most of our camp counselors
are college students and aspiring teachers and outdoor educators. Camp leadership staff are professionals eager
to provide amazing opportunities for your girl. A big percentage of staff are former Girl Scout campers and some
even come from overseas which is so exciting for the girls!
Camp staff participate in two weeks of training covering topics like camper behavior and support, creating a safe
space, outdoor activities, group dynamics, emergency procedures and much more.
Cost of Camp | Same, Simplified Lower Prices!
Again this summer, most overnight resident camps are $65 per night. That means a two-night camp is $130, a
three-night camp is $195 and a five-night camp is $325.
The cost of camp is subsidized by Badgerland Council. We firmly believe these overnight programs and
experiences are important to the Girl Scout experience which is why we underwrite camp. Put simply, the cost
of operating the camp program is much greater than the fee you pay. If you want to add a camp donation to help
offset the full cost, you will have the option to do so when you register her for camp. And, because we want girls to
experience camp, Campership scholarships are available to families in need. See details on page 38.
She Can Earn Her Way to Camp With Cookies
Girls are strongly encouraged to earn all or part of their way to camp through cookie and ‘in a nutshell’ sales.
Paying for all or a portion of her camp program instills independence, pride and self-confidence. See more details
about how she can earn Badgerland Bucks to pay for camp by selling cookies on page 38.
Special Needs
If your camper has special needs, including food allergies, health care or mobility limitations please notify us in
advance. Badgerland Council will seek to accommodate special needs whenever possible but reserves the right to
identify reasonable and prudent accommodations.
What She’ll Eat
Meals at camp are kid-friendly and healthy. A set menu is prepared for each meal offering balanced choices
with a vegetarian option. Most meals are served family-style. Typical meals include chicken fingers, tacos and
sloppy joes. And, of course, there are plenty of veggies, too! At Camp Ehawee, meals are served in Hope Lodge
and at Brandenburg they are at Hilltop Lodge. You will have an opportunity before camp to communicate any
food allergies or other special food needs for your campers.
Who Attends Camp
Girl Scout camp is for all girls in grades K-12. Girls who are not already members of Girl Scouts simply pay the $35
Girl Scout membership dues prior to camp registration.

TRAINING
June 23-28
• Five Nights/Level 3
• $325
• For Girls Completing Grades 5-7
There’s just one prerequisite for the girls coming to summer PA training: be motivated to learn how to
lead younger girls and aspire to be a future role model to campers. Still reading? Great!
PA Campers will explore their talents at leading songs and games and they’ll get a chance to not only
do arts and crafts then, importantly, how to teach it to others. One of the most popular segments
of PA Training is when the girls get to dive into some pretty hefty and fascinating topics including girl
development, communication skills and behavior management. Of course, it’s not all about “training”—PA
campers will still have plenty of time to go swimming, hiking, shoot archery, enjoy campfires and play
gaga.
And she’ll be at camp during SuperGIRLs week. How cool is that?
