General Information About Camp At Girl Scout Camp, girls choose their adventures, let their imaginations roam, and make lifelong friends and memories. Girls plan their own camp program during the day and assist in planning cookouts, designing and preparing unit skits/songs to perform for the rest of camp in the evening. We offer two distinct camping tracks: Traditional and Ranch Camp. Sleeping Units Living arrangements are assigned by camp staff and are determined approximately one to three weeks prior to arrival. Girls may stay in tents, cabins or lodges organized into units. Girls are grouped into units according to their ages. Girls can register with a buddy and be placed in the same sleeping unit. Girls may only request one buddy. In return, the buddy must also request them as a unit mate or the request will not be honored. Buddies must be in the same grade level and both must be in the same program such as Traditional or Ranch Camp. Meals At camp, meals are prepared by our professional food service crew and served in our dining hall. All meals are served hot, cafeteria style, and provide a great variety of food that is both healthy and kid friendly. In addition to the hot meal, girls can also choose to eat from our salad bar that offers a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Campers have a unit breakfast and dinner and a unit pack out lunch at least once during the week. During these meals, the girls plan what they are going to cook over the campfire. Vegetarian and kosher diets can be accommodated. Other dietary restrictions may also be accommodated; however parents may need to supplement acceptable foods for our staff to prepare. Restroom Facilities At both camp locations, most restrooms are either latrines or clivuses and include hand washing stations known as bird baths. At Camp Furnace Hills, showers are taken in the pool house after daily swim times. At Camp Archbald, girls have their shower time scheduled every day for the a.m. or p.m. Confirmation After registering your daughter for camp, you will receive a confirmation packet. The confirmation packet includes several different documents that must be completed prior to your camper’s arrival. Please bring the required forms with you to camp and make sure they are filled out in their entirety. To ensure the welfare of your child, she will be required to get a physical within 12 months of her intended camp stay. You will find this form within your confirmation packet or online at www.gshpa.org under forms. 7
