Campers who require inhalers and/or bee sting kits may carry them on their person during the day with written permission from their parent/guardian and after the Health Director has cleared them to do so.

Mask (optional)
Because some camp areas may contain poison oak, blackberries, and stinging nettles, it is important that the camper is dressed appropriately. Campers arriving in sandals or open toed / healed shoes will be excluded from activities until a parent/guardian furnishes them with shoes and socks
Please encourage your campers to leave any treasured items at home items are often lost or can easily get dirty at camp and cell phones are not allowed to be out during camp hours for campers.

Camper Experience
Who can be a camper?
Our camp is focused on creating an amazing Girl Scout experience; however, we do provide the unique opportunity for siblings (called tagalongs) to attend if attending with a volunteer. In general, all campers are current Girl Scout members who fall within the range of K-6th grade (beginning in the Fall). PA/PA-ITs are often former campers and/or Girl Scouts who are 7th grade - 12th grade. PA/PAITs receive special leadership training and guidance throughout the week. PA's arrive earlier than standard camp times.
How will campers be placed in units?
We place campers into units, based on their age. We try to avoid placing campers in units with their parent/guardian and siblings. We also DO NOT do buddy requests. Unit Leaders will reach out to their unit campers a few weeks prior to camp to introduce themselves and provide another point of contact for families.
