Hello! I’m Christa “Swift” Dunkel, assistant <strong>camp</strong> director for<br />
Camp Whispering Oaks. During the school year, I am a 4th grade<br />
teacher. Each <strong>summer</strong> I look forward to coming back to <strong>camp</strong>,<br />
where I’m passionate about girls having the best <strong>camp</strong> experience<br />
possible! I truly believe that <strong>camp</strong> builds girls of courage,<br />
confidence <strong>and</strong> character, <strong>and</strong> I look forward to seeing girls grow<br />
strong during their time at Camp Whispering Oaks.<br />

<strong>Girl</strong> Scout <strong>camp</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />
Best. Summer. EVER.<br />
Imagine a place where you achieve things you never dreamed you could do. Explore the galaxy, hit the trails on<br />
horseback, navigate a kayak, learn to be a savvy traveler or write <strong>and</strong> star in your own movie. Those are just a<br />
few of the adventures that await you. With a host of experiences to choose from – all designed with girl input –<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> Scout <strong>camp</strong> encourages independence <strong>and</strong> develops character, while building confidence <strong>and</strong> a sense of<br />
sisterhood. As you make new friends <strong>and</strong> build memories, you’ll find yourself having the . . . Best.Summer.Ever.<br />
At <strong>Girl</strong> Scout <strong>camp</strong>, we:<br />
• Develop courage, confidence <strong>and</strong> character<br />
• Strengthen girls’ leadership skills<br />
• Enhance connection to the natural environment<br />
• Welcome all girls K-12<br />
We offer <strong>day</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong> sessions to fit every girl’s interests, abilities <strong>and</strong> dreams. Non-members simply<br />
add $12 dues to the <strong>camp</strong> fee <strong>and</strong> enjoy <strong>Girl</strong> Scout membership throughout the year.<br />
All <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>camp</strong>s are accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). This national<br />

celebrate that philosophy! If girls from the same troop attend the same <strong>camp</strong>, they’ll<br />
find it fun to carpool together <strong>and</strong> share stories on the way home each <strong>day</strong>.<br />
We registered…now what?<br />
We will e-mail you a <strong>camp</strong> confirmation, an information guide <strong>and</strong> required paperwork<br />
shortly after we receive your registration. The guide details what to expect at <strong>camp</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
what girls need to bring. The <strong>camp</strong> director may also send a letter shortly before <strong>camp</strong><br />
begins with last-minute reminders <strong>and</strong> information.<br />
What should my <strong>camp</strong>er bring?<br />
All girls need the following daily: A hearty lunch (refrigeration <strong>and</strong> microwave are not<br />
available); refillable water bottle; sunscreen; lip balm; sturdy, closed-toed walking<br />
shoes; clothing that can get dirty <strong>and</strong> a hat for hot <strong>day</strong>s. Other items vary from <strong>camp</strong> to<br />
<strong>camp</strong>, such as bathing suits, towels <strong>and</strong> b<strong>and</strong>anas. Refer to individual <strong>camp</strong> information<br />
guide for other details.<br />
What does the COV rate mean?<br />
COV (child of volunteer) is a discounted rate offered to <strong>camp</strong>ers whose parents volunteer<br />
for a week of <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong>. For more information, please see the <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> volunteers<br />
section on page 15.<br />
What is the difference between <strong>day</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong> Counselor-in-Training<br />
(CIT) programs?<br />
The <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong> CIT programs are completely independent offerings,<br />
designed <strong>and</strong> implemented with the unique characteristics of each program in mind.<br />
Advance training is required for <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> CIT only. For questions about <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> CIT,<br />
contact S<strong>and</strong>y Sultz at ssultz@sdgirlscouts.org or (619) 610-0814; for <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong><br />

<strong>Girl</strong>s spend the rest of the <strong>day</strong> in our “<strong>camp</strong>” area of the ranch, enjoying crafts, games<br />
<strong>and</strong> activities related to that week’s theme.<br />
How do I enroll my daughter with a friend?<br />
Look for the “<strong>camp</strong> friend” prompt when you register online. If you register by mail,<br />
staple together both girls’ applications <strong>and</strong> payments.<br />
Can my <strong>camp</strong>er’s whole troop register together?<br />
Sorry, we cannot guarantee placement of more than two <strong>camp</strong>ers in the same unit.<br />
Part of the magic of <strong>camp</strong> is making new friends. Please allow girls to experience <strong>and</strong>
Adults: Volunteer for <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong>!<br />
Volunteers are essential to the <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> experience. Have as much fun as the <strong>camp</strong>ers,<br />
while developing leadership skills, mentoring other girls, experiencing the outdoors<br />
<strong>and</strong> making new friends! There is no cost to volunteer, <strong>and</strong> your child will receive a<br />
significant discount on <strong>camp</strong> fees. Apply early for best placement options.<br />
Volunteers with children at <strong>camp</strong><br />
A COV (child of volunteer) rate is listed for <strong>camp</strong>s that use volunteers. To receive the<br />
COV rate for your <strong>camp</strong>er, you agree to work the full week of <strong>camp</strong>.<br />
To volunteer: Register your child under the COV category to receive the discount. Then<br />
complete the Day Camp Volunteer Application. A <strong>camp</strong> background check form will<br />
be sent to you. If you are not selected to volunteer, your girl may attend <strong>camp</strong> at the<br />
regular rate.<br />
COV/Boy or Preschool indicates a <strong>camp</strong> that can accommodate male or preschool siblings<br />
of <strong>camp</strong>ers, to allow their parents to volunteer at <strong>camp</strong>. The boys <strong>and</strong> preschoolers<br />
enjoy activities in their own groups, with their own leaders. Please contact the <strong>camp</strong><br />
director for information.<br />
Volunteers without children at <strong>camp</strong><br />
There are many ways for volunteers to help at <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong>, for a few hours or for a full<br />
week. You might help with science experiments, teach knitting, lead a sailing lesson or<br />
provide logistic support to a director…it’s up to you! To learn more, contact Mary Mautino<br />
at mmautino@sdgirlscouts.org or (619) 610-0719.<br />

Day <strong>camp</strong> teen mentoring program<br />
Day Camp Aides (DCAs) <strong>and</strong> Day Camp Counselors-in-Training (CITs) – formerly<br />
known as Program Aides – are <strong>camp</strong>ers who support younger <strong>camp</strong>ers under the direct<br />
supervision of adult staff. They provide a unique caring connection to <strong>camp</strong>ers. These<br />
teen mentors can earn leadership <strong>and</strong> community service hours that fulfill <strong>Girl</strong> Scout<br />
recognition <strong>and</strong> school requirements<br />
Our <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> teen mentoring program now features two levels:<br />
• Day Camp DCAs are girls entering grades 7-8 who help <strong>camp</strong>ers with crafts, games<br />
<strong>and</strong> songs <strong>and</strong> assist unit counselors.<br />
• Day Camp CITs are girls entering grades 9-12. In addition to providing general support<br />
for younger <strong>camp</strong>ers, these seasoned, older girls also mentor DCAs. They have<br />
opportunities to further their leadership skills by planning <strong>and</strong> executing program<br />
activities for younger <strong>camp</strong>ers.<br />
Prerequisite: Prior to serving at <strong>camp</strong>, all DCAs <strong>and</strong> CITs must complete training (see<br />
page 16 for details).<br />
How to become a Day Camp Aide or Counselor-in-Training<br />
• Registration begins on Fri<strong>day</strong>, Feb. 1 at www.sdgirlscouts.org/<strong>camp</strong> or via a <strong>camp</strong><br />
registration form.<br />
• DCA/CIT <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong>s sessions are very popular! To allow as many girls as possible to<br />
serve, registration is limited to two <strong>camp</strong>s per DCA/CIT until Fri<strong>day</strong>, March 1. After<br />
that date, they may register for additional <strong>camp</strong>s. DCAs/CITs are placed in <strong>camp</strong>s on<br />
a first-come, first-served basis.<br />
• Contacting the <strong>camp</strong> director directly does not result in placement priority.<br />
• Buddy requests by DCAs/CITs cannot be granted, due to the nature of the leadership<br />
experience.<br />
• Training sessions are detailed on next page; registration is online or via an individual<br />
registration form.<br />
• DCAs/CITs must attend the required trainings prior to their <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> sessions.<br />
Check out <strong>camp</strong>s for older girls! In addition to DCA/CIT opportunities, attend one or<br />
more sessions designed for girls in grades 7-12.<br />

DCA/CIT training<br />
As much an educational opportunity as a requirement, DCA/CIT training builds skills<br />
girls can use in other ways, such as helping a troop of younger girls, volunteering at a<br />
service unit event or serving the community.<br />
New DCAs must complete six hours of training. To transition to Day Camp CIT, girls<br />
must complete an additional six hours of training. Training must be renewed every two<br />
years. Camp-specific training <strong>and</strong> planning sessions are offered for some <strong>camp</strong>s, as<br />
well. The <strong>camp</strong> director will provide information regarding the availability of any <strong>camp</strong>specific<br />
training.<br />
Training h<strong>and</strong>book <strong>and</strong> sessions<br />

count toward the required six hours of training. Teen mentors should also download<br />

Resident <strong>camp</strong>s<br />
At our <strong>summer</strong> <strong>resident</strong> (overnight) <strong>camp</strong>s, girls get a taste of independence in a safe<br />
<strong>and</strong> fun environment. Campers enjoy the best parts of being a kid, learning <strong>and</strong> playing<br />
in groups where everyone belongs, trying new <strong>and</strong> different activities <strong>and</strong> exploring<br />
nature h<strong>and</strong>s-on. Camp sessions are centered around themes to suit every interest.<br />
Songs, skits, <strong>camp</strong>fires, laughter <strong>and</strong> friendship are all part of each girl’s experience.<br />
Resident <strong>camp</strong>s are:<br />
• Held at Camps Winacka <strong>and</strong> Whispering Oaks in the mountains near Julian<br />
• Open to all girls in grades 2-12<br />
• Five, seven or 12 <strong>day</strong>s long<br />
• Supported by caring <strong>and</strong> enthusiastic, trained <strong>camp</strong> counselors<br />
Based on the girls’ interests, each group of <strong>camp</strong>ers <strong>and</strong> staff plans its own activities,<br />
including hiking, archery, nature activities, swimming, challenge course, arts <strong>and</strong> crafts,<br />
sleep-outs <strong>and</strong> cookouts. Additional activities are offered based on the <strong>camp</strong> session’s<br />
theme. Choose a theme with your <strong>camp</strong>er by looking for activities she already loves or<br />
has always wanted to try!<br />
Camps Winacka <strong>and</strong> Whispering Oaks are located on the same 700-acre oak woodl<strong>and</strong><br />
site near Julian, 60 miles east of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>. Bus transportation is available (for $15 per<br />
<strong>camp</strong>) from Balboa Park in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>and</strong> Kit Carson Park in Escondido.<br />
Camp Winacka<br />
This traditional <strong>camp</strong>’s living units are tucked in the trees surrounding an open meadow.<br />
<strong>Girl</strong>s sleep in open-air cabins with built-in bunks or tent houses, or on cots under<br />
the stars. All accommodations have modern bathrooms with showers <strong>and</strong> luggage<br />
storage areas. Activities center around the lodge, dining hall, swimming pool areas <strong>and</strong><br />
environmental center. The <strong>camp</strong> boasts miles of hiking trails <strong>and</strong> natural sights.<br />
Camp Whispering Oaks<br />
Camp Whispering Oaks offers all the comforts of modern cabins in the beautiful<br />
outdoors. Living <strong>and</strong> activity areas are connected with paved, lighted pathways winding<br />
through natural vegetation of manzanita, oak <strong>and</strong> pine. The sports field <strong>and</strong> playground<br />
are popular destinations for <strong>camp</strong>ers. Each living unit includes three modern cabins<br />
with bunk beds <strong>and</strong> a nearby program shelter with modern bathroom facilities.<br />
Resident <strong>camp</strong> staff<br />
All counselors are age 18 or older <strong>and</strong> are selected for their maturity, enthusiasm <strong>and</strong><br />
experience. Many return year after year. Each <strong>summer</strong>, they participate in an intensive,<br />
week-long training program in child development, group management, <strong>camp</strong>ing skills,<br />
conflict resolution, bullying prevention, CPR/first aid <strong>and</strong> specialty areas. A health care<br />
supervisor remains on-site 24 hours a <strong>day</strong>.<br />

Camp communications<br />
Parents have various options for communicating with their <strong>camp</strong>ers. They can write<br />
<strong>and</strong> mail letters to <strong>camp</strong>, drop notes off at the bus to be delivered throughout the week<br />
or sign up for www.Bunk1.com to send one-way e-mails to <strong>camp</strong>ers. Campers communicate<br />
back to parents via postal mail.<br />
In case of an emergency, call the Camp Information Hotline at (619) 610-0808 for<br />
recorded messages about <strong>camp</strong> property status, evacuation sites <strong>and</strong> pick up<br />
information.<br />
Resident <strong>camp</strong> FAQs<br />
Is there bus transportation?<br />
Bus transportation $15 round trip is recommended for all <strong>camp</strong>ers. <strong>Girl</strong>s start the <strong>camp</strong><br />
experience on the bus with <strong>camp</strong> counselors as chaperones. Many girls make friends<br />
on the bus <strong>and</strong> look forward to it each year. Bus stops are located in Balboa Park <strong>and</strong> Kit<br />
Carson Park. Confirmation packet includes maps, directions <strong>and</strong> more information.<br />
How much time will my girl spend with horses at a horse <strong>camp</strong>?<br />
Horse <strong>camp</strong>ers spend half their <strong>day</strong> working with horses <strong>and</strong> half participating in regular<br />
<strong>camp</strong> activities. Each girl can expect to ride for approximately one hour per <strong>day</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />
spend around two additional hours around the horses. We pride ourselves on giving<br />
girls a well-rounded idea of horsemanship. <strong>Girl</strong>s are responsible for all areas of horse<br />
care including feeding <strong>and</strong> grooming, plus cleaning stalls <strong>and</strong> doing other barn chores.<br />
Your confirmation packet will include specific information <strong>and</strong> a sample schedule.<br />
What is the difference between <strong>day</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong><br />
Counselor-in-Training (CIT) programs?<br />
They are completely independent offerings, designed <strong>and</strong> implemented with the<br />
unique characteristics of each program in mind. Advance training is required for <strong>day</strong><br />
<strong>camp</strong> CIT only. For questions about <strong>day</strong> <strong>camp</strong> CIT, contact S<strong>and</strong>y Sultz at ssultz@sdgirlscouts.org<br />
or (619) 610-0814; for <strong>resident</strong> <strong>camp</strong> CIT details contact Gabby Coburn at<br />
gcoburn@sdgirlscouts.org or (619) 610-0816.<br />
Do counselors sleep in the cabins with the girls?<br />
It depends on the cabins. Whispering Oaks counselors sleep in cabins with the <strong>camp</strong>ers.<br />
At Camp Winacka, counselors sleep in cabins with <strong>camp</strong>ers only for the Jumpstart<br />
session. Winacka’s counselor cabins are within feet of <strong>camp</strong>ers’ cabins, <strong>and</strong> <strong>camp</strong>ers<br />
are instructed where to find counselors if they need them. In “under-the-stars” accommodations<br />
at Camp Winacka, counselors sleep near the <strong>camp</strong>ers, but in their own area.<br />
What are the differences in accommodations?<br />
All accommodations have access to flush toilets <strong>and</strong> hot showers.<br />
• Modern cabins have heat, electricity <strong>and</strong> bunk beds, <strong>and</strong> sleep up to 16 <strong>camp</strong>ers.<br />
• Rustic cabins are screened, open-air facilities with built-in bunk beds <strong>and</strong> no<br />
electricity. They sleep up to eight <strong>camp</strong>ers.<br />
• Under-the-stars <strong>camp</strong>ers sleep on cots on the deck of a central building that has<br />
restrooms <strong>and</strong> a changing area.<br />
How do I enroll my daughter with a friend?<br />
If you register online, you will be prompted to supply a name of a “<strong>camp</strong> friend.” If you<br />
register by mail, staple together both <strong>camp</strong>ers’ applications <strong>and</strong> payments. <strong>Girl</strong>s may<br />
pick just one “<strong>camp</strong> friend,” <strong>and</strong> that buddy must also choose them. Most <strong>camp</strong>ers do<br />
not attend with a “<strong>camp</strong> friend,” so don’t worry if your <strong>camp</strong>er doesn’t have one.<br />
Can my daughter’s whole troop register together?<br />
We do not recommend signing up more than two <strong>camp</strong>ers together. If a whole or partial<br />
troop will attend <strong>camp</strong> together, we encourage you to sign them up for different programs<br />
based on their own interests. They’ll still see each other during meals, at <strong>camp</strong>fires,<br />
<strong>and</strong> out <strong>and</strong> about around <strong>camp</strong>. Signing up separately allows them to experience<br />
<strong>camp</strong> for themselves, while still sharing the adventure with their troopmates.<br />
What should my <strong>camp</strong>er bring?<br />
We will e-mail you a confirmation, information guide <strong>and</strong> necessary paperwork when we<br />
receive your registration. The guide details what to expect at <strong>camp</strong>, including what your<br />
girl may need. Certain specialty <strong>camp</strong>s, such as horse sessions, require additional or<br />
specialty clothing or gear.<br />
Can you accommodate my <strong>camp</strong>ers’ special (dietary, physical,<br />
medical <strong>and</strong>/or emotional) needs?<br />
With sufficient notice, we can accommodate most <strong>camp</strong>ers with special needs.<br />
Contact the <strong>camp</strong> director in advance at <strong>camp</strong>director@sdgirlscouts.org with specific<br />
considerations. Upon request, a staff member trained in special needs may be available<br />
for additional support. As always, fill out the health history completely to help us<br />
best accommodate your <strong>camp</strong>er.

<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> serves nearly 31,000 girls <strong>and</strong> more<br />
than 10,000 adults in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>and</strong> Imperial counties. <strong>Girl</strong><br />
<strong>Scouts</strong>, a voluntary, private organization, is open to all girls<br />
between the ages of 5 <strong>and</strong> 17 who make the <strong>Girl</strong> Scout<br />

her full potential by helping her develop self-esteem, make<br />
new friends, <strong>and</strong> become a vital part of the community.<br />
<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Camps are accredited by the American<br />
Camp Association. This means all our <strong>camp</strong>s maintain high<br />
safety <strong>and</strong> quality st<strong>and</strong>ards in site, program, transportation,<br />

ALL GIRLS WELCOME!<br />
All girls ages 5 through 17 are welcome at <strong>Girl</strong> Scout <strong>camp</strong>. No <strong>camp</strong>ing<br />
experience is needed for most <strong>camp</strong>s, <strong>and</strong> a <strong>camp</strong>er does not need to attend<br />
with her friends or a troop—she’ll make new friends there! Non-<strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scouts</strong> are<br />
encouraged to attend; an additional $12 covers the annual <strong>Girl</strong> Scout<br />
registration fee <strong>and</strong> insurance.
