WHY CAMP?
SUMMER
2013
Girl Scouts
Heart of
Central
CA
Summer wouldn’t be the same without it. And Girl Scouts Heart of Central
California (GSHCC) wouldn’t be the same without Menzies—the council’s
beautiful camp nestled among the glorious trees of the Sierra Nevada.
At resident camp, girls entering grades 2–12 are given the opportunity to
connect with nature, try new activities and make new friends. They sing around
the campfire, have fun and gain a sense of community—all while learning to be
independent. Camp inspires interests and gives girls a sense of appreciation for
home as well as the great outdoors. What do girls spend most of their time doing
at Camp Menzies? Growing.
There’s just something about camp that sticks with girls for a lifetime. Camp
creates memories—plain and simple.
This summer there are more than 60 programs at Camp Menzies, and girls
can sign up for more than one. Included in every resident program: canoeing,
swimming, archery (for grades 4 and up), arts ‘n’ crafts, nature study, hiking,
outdoor cooking, horses, stargazing and more.
LOCATION
Camp Menzies is a gorgeous mountain site located in Calaveras County at a
5,000-foot elevation in the Sierra Nevada mountains, approximately 80 miles
east of Stockton. The camp features six living units, separate swimming and
canoeing areas, hiking trails, a meadow, craft and nature centers, and open-air
dining. Staff and campers sleep in tents or sleeping cabins.

DETA ILS
GSHCC offers a variety of overnight sessions ranging from four to eight days. Any
girl entering grades 2–12 may attend Camp Menzies. Participants are accepted
into programs on a first-come, first-served basis, without regard to race, ethnicity,
national origin or disability, provided they meet all program requirements. Girls can
even bring a friend along to camp! (For girls not already registered as a Girl Scout by
February 1, 2013, an additional $12 fee will be charged.)
At Camp Menzies, campers live in “units” with girls their own age who have registered
for the same program. Programs range from a sampling of camp activities
found in Forest Friends or Sierra Safari to specialty programs, such as horseback
riding or art. Each unit (girls and staff together) plans its own schedule of activities
for each session. Special all-camp events like campfires, themed meals, carnivals,
talent shows or other all-camp programs are also held throughout the session.

QUESTIONS
& ANSWERS
RESIDENT CAMP AND
TRAVEL PROGRAMS:
When does registration for
camp open?
Camp registration officially opens on February
1, 2013; however, you can send in your registration
anytime in January. Registrations received
prior to this date will be held until February 1
and then processed randomly. No preference
will be given to registrations received prior to
February 1. After February 1, registrations will
be processed as they are received.
When will my deposit be processed?
Deposits will be processed when registration
forms are received. If they are received prior to
February 1, the deposit will be processed and
the form will be held until placement occurs on
February 1.
When is my camper considered
confirmed?
Campers are considered confirmed as soon
as their registration is placed in their first or
second choice camp program. You will be
notified if the camp session you requested is
full. If a second choice program is listed, you
will be placed in that program.
When do I pay for camp?
Your camp bill will arrive with your confirmation
packet. Payment of the camp fees is due no
later than four weeks prior to the start of the
session for which you have registered. Note:
The council will accept VISA, MasterCard, and
Discover credit cards.
Can I use Cookie Credits to pay
for camp?
Due to the volume of registrations we process,
we CANNOT accept Cookie Credits for the $75
deposit. However, once you have received
your bill, you may use your Cookie Credits to
pay for the balance of your camp fees.
Is financial assistance available?
If you are within the Girl Scouts Heart of Central
California jurisdiction and are a registered
Girl Scout or want to become a Girl Scout, you
are eligible to apply for financial help to attend
Girl Scout resident camps. Please see the
forms section of the brochure for the requirements
and Financial Assistance Form. If you
live outside of the council’s jurisdiction, contact
your local Girl Scout council for financial
assistance information.
If I’m not a Girl Scout are there
any special fees?
An additional $12 fee will apply for any girl not
registered as a Girl Scout by February 1, 2013.
Are campers covered by
insurance?
All campers are covered by sickness and accident
insurance. The cost is included in the
camp fee.
Will my daughter need a physical
examination to attend camp?
No. However, a current Health History Form
completed by the parents must be received
by the program center four weeks prior to
their camp session. Camp can be physically
demanding—although a physical examination
is no longer required to attend camp, we
recommend that you discuss camp with your
health care provider and be clear about any
restrictions to your camper’s activities on the
Health History Form. The Health History Form
is available online.
What is included in the camp fees?
All camp fees include: supervision and instruction
from trained staff, program activities,
transportation, sickness/accident insurance,
camp T-shirt, patch, daily meals, snacks, and
a one-hour horseback riding session. Please
Note: Travel Programs that do not spend time
at Menzies will not include horseback riding.

Is transportation available to and
from camp?
For most of our resident camp programs, bus
transportation is available from Sacramento,
Salida, Stockton and Angels Camp. Unless
otherwise noted, travel camps use seven-,
eight- or 12-passenger vehicles and depart from
Sacramento, Stockton and Salida. Travel to and
from pickup points is the family’s responsibility.
Transportation to and from camp is not provided
for our Two of Us programs and our troop and
family camp programs.
What health and safety standards
are maintained at Camp Menzies?
Camps must meet established standards for
health and safety, site, program and personnel,
which are set by state and local governments and
Girl Scouts of the USA. The camp staff is also
trained in safety and emergency procedures.
What is ACA?
Camp Menzies is a member
of the American Camp Association
(ACA). Every three
years, a team of ACA officials, who are camping
professionals, visit the camp to evaluate compliance
with the high standards set by a national
ACA standards board. ACA standards address
the camp’s practices, policies and procedures as
they relate to personnel, program, administration,
and site and facilities. Camp Menzies was visited
in the summer of 2010 and our accreditation was
renewed. Only camps that are accredited may
bear the American Camp Association accredited
seal.
What are the counselors like?
Camp staff members are enthusiastic, talented
and caring adults, who are selected on the basis
of their experience, ability to serve as role models
and their genuine desire to work with children.
The ratio of counselors to girls varies with the age
of the campers. Camp units with younger girls
have the greatest ratio of counselors to campers.
What training do camp staff
receive?
Camp staff receive extensive on-site training
prior to the arrival of all campers. Training
includes activity programming and outdoor skills,
songs, games, first aid and safety, team building,
age level characteristics, how to deal with
homesickness, and more. Staff who supervise
high adventure activities are required to have
additional training and qualifications.
Where do girls sleep?
Sleeping arrangements vary, depending on the
camp program you choose. Campers sleep on
metal beds with mattresses either in a tent or in a
sleeping cabin with solid walls, roof and screened
windows. Campers in programs that sleep in
tents can bring a tent from home or borrow one
from the camp. We will partner girls up so that
they are not sleeping in a tent alone.
Can my daughter be in the same
unit as her friends?
Prior to camp placement, your daughter may
request to be with one special friend in the same
unit and program (if her friend is about the same
age and ability). To be considered for the same
unit, both girls must request each other and the
registration forms need to be mailed in the same
envelope. Girls requesting a buddy must mail or
fax in their forms together. You cannot request
buddies when you register online.
If your friend is not a currently registered Girl
Scout, she can still join you at camp if she completes
a registration form and pays an additional
$12 fee. After placement, if two or more friends
are attending the same session and program together,
parents can request that they be placed
in the same tent or cabin using the Parent Letter
to the Counselors Form which is included in the
camp information packet.
Can I visit the camp?
We invite you to attend our Open House on Sunday,
June 9, 2013, when both campers and their
parents can visit the camp, tour the facility, and
meet staff who will be working there. The Camp
Director will be available to answer any questions
you may have.

in camp due to lack of funds. If you feel attending camp would be a financial hardship, please apply for financial
assistance. Financial assistance usually covers a portion of the camp fees. Each request is considered on an
individual basis and decisions are based on the girl’s need and the availability of funds. Girls living within the Girl
Scouts Heart of Central California jurisdiction and who are registered as a Girl Scout, or who want to become a
Girl Scout, are eligible to apply. If you live outside the Girl Scouts Heart of Central California jurisdiction please
