Camp 

. . . more than just Fun! 

Camp is fun, but the lasting value 

of attending camp is so much more! 

Camp builds confidence, fosters a spirit of 

cooperation, forms an appreciation of the natural 

environment, and develops self-esteem in 

girls. Girl Scouts encourages our campers to reach 

their fullest potential! From learning new skills to 

discovering new things to making new friends, 

girls have the opportunity to grow at camp, 

a safe and nurturing environment. 

Think Camp . . . Think 

Potential! 

Think Summer . . . Think Camp! 

We are set for a retro-rockin’ “Summer of Fun 2009” from Beloit to LaCrosse to Madison and all points in between and 

beyond! We are so very excited to share with you this totally hip combined summer camp brochure for 2009. You have the neat 

opportunity to go to day camp or resident camp anywhere in our area . . . right on! As we anticipate our coming council merger and 

the beginning of Badgerland Council, we take our first step forward by sharing the fun and learning offered at our various camps 

. . . it’s oughta sight. 

Can you dig it?! Join us for another exciting summer at camp . . . it’s a happenin’ thing! We offer exciting, cool, and fun camping experiences just for you. 

Check out the cool camp sessions with a parent or guardian and decide what you are interested in and which camp session works best for you. No matter 

what camping adventure you choose, you’ll have a chance to make great friendships, learn something new, chill in the great outdoors, and have lots of fun 

. . . groovy! 

We’ve lined up awesome staff to help you have a swingin’ time at camp. Your parents/guardians want to know that you are safe at camp and working with carefully 

selected and well-trained staff . . . and you are! Our camp staff undergoes intense training to ensure that your camping adventure is a safe and memorable one 

. . . staff has the vibe. 

This camp brochure is packed with nifty activities! So . . . please take the time to read this brochure with your mom or dad or guardian and together

PS4POs: (PS for parents only!) 

Girl Scouts has long been a leader in providing quality outdoor experiences for girls. We are proud to continue that tradition with 

our 2009 summer offerings. We all know girls are spending less and less time in the natural world in this 

computer age. You may have heard of the national movement to have “no child left inside.” Research shows that 

kids who spend time in the outdoors are more creative, observant, and inquisitive. They demonstrate 

stronger critical thinking and problem solving skills, work better cooperatively, and have lower stress levels than their 

counterparts who do not get out exploring our planet’s diverse eco-systems. We hope you will take 

advantage of the variety of events we have to offer your daughter. Also, for those of you who can, 

we hope you will take the opportunity to join her for one of our events.

BLACK HAWK SUMMER FUN DAY CAMP INFO 

Learn to Be a Kid Again! Volunteer at Girl Scout Summer Fun Day Programs! 

Girl Scout Summer Fun Day Camp programs would not be possible without the dedication of our wonderful volunteers! Here are some ways for you to help. 

We will begin placing girls on March 15, 2009. 

Adult Coverage 

At Girl Scout day camp, we maintain a ratio 

of 1 adult for every 6 Daisies and Brownies, 

1 adult for every 8 Juniors, and 1 adult for every 10 

Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts. These adults volunteer 

to attend with a girl (or group of girls); they stay with the 

girls throughout the day monitoring them, guiding them 

through the activities, and assisting, when necessary. 

Girls who register with an identified adult coverage 

volunteer for the entire session of camp will be 

placed first. Girls without adult coverage 

will be placed as sufficient adult 

coverage is available. 

Teen 

Volunteers 

Needed! 

Looking for something to do this summer? 

Love day camp but feel too old to come? 

Want to help out and have fun with younger girls? Like to do 

community service? Then, volunteer as a Kool Aide and help 

younger Girl Scouts have a fabulous summer day camp experience! 

Teens (entering 8th grade in the fall or older) can help 

lead projects, entertain girls, and assist other volunteers 

with fun and exciting summer day camp programs. • 

Interested? Groovy!! Contact Ella Benson at the Girl 

Scout Center in Madison at ellab@girlscoutsofblackhawk.org

Activity Leaders 

Activity Leaders will run a variety of 

simple activities for the girls throughout 

the day such as hikes, crafts, and games. 

Activity Leaders must attend a mandatory training 

where they will receive detailed information on 

each camp, receive activity instructions, and sign up 

for the activity of their choice. By volunteering as an 

Activity Leader, one child may attend camp with you free of 

charge. Activity Leaders must be comfortable leading a group 

of children through activities and will need to be available for the 

entire session of a particular camp. 

Trainings will be 

Thursday, June 11, 2009, at 6:30pm and 

Monday, June 15, 2009, at 6:30pm. 

These trainings are identical; please attend 

the training or your choice.
