Info

41 MALE STAFF Male staff members (paid and volunteer) are a valued part of all aspects of Girl Scouting including Girl Scout camp. Additional guidelines are followed when men are present in order to ensure the privacy of the girls as well as of the male staff members. They are never allowed to enter a unit before contacting the staff in charge, they are never alone with any girls and they are never in the same sleeping areas with the girls. In all situations, Safety Activity Checkpoints standards for involving men in Girl Scout activities are followed. PAYMENTS A $25 non-refundable deposit must be made at time of registration. The balance of the camp fee can be made in payments or in a one lump sum through your MyGS account. Final payments are due by registration deadline of camp session. Deposits are non-refundable except if the camp session has been canceled by the council PHONE CALLS The camp phone is for emergency and business calls. In case you need to contact the Outdoor Program Office during camp, the phone number will be included in your confirmation packet. Please be understanding if you are unable to initially reach someone at camp. We will be checking and returning phone calls regularly. Campers are not allowed to bring cell phones or electronics of any kind to camp. An important part of the camping experience is being “unplugged”. PHOTOS Group photos will be taken during each week of camp and can be purchased before the camp session or on check in day. Fees for the photos are $10 per group photo. PROGRAM DISCLAIMER We reserve the right to cancel/alter any program activity when weather conditions are unsuitable, to include but not limited to, extreme heat, thunderstorms, etc. Alternative options will be offered at that time. Our primary concern is for the safety of the girls and every effort will be made to reschedule the activity. No refunds or adjustments in fees will be made. We cannot offer a discount on field trips for those campers that may have a season pass to trip location.
42 PROGRAM AIDES/COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING Older girls that have completed the required training (GSC - Elements Training) for their grade level will assist and complete weeks of internship and additional learning weeks during both Day Camp & Resident Camp •Program Aides (PAs) are girls that are currently registered as Cadettes that will usually assist in a Day Camp environment, they will work with girls under the supervision of the adult counselors/Day Camp Supervisor. •Counselors-in-Training (CITs) are girls that are currently registered as Seniors or Ambassadors that will usually assist in a Resident Camp environment. They will work with girls under the supervision of the adult counselors. PAs and CITs will never be left alone with girls or counted in the adult/girl ratio. All Program Aides and Counselors-in-Training will be contacted directly to sign up for weeks of camp that are available for them to assist with during the summer. PROVIDING FOOD Whether or not a girl needs to bring her own food to camp will depend on the type of camp she is attending. If your daughter is attending a Day Camp at Celia Lane or Riverpoint then you will have to provide lunch for her. If your daughter will be attending a Resident Camp or Sampler Camp, all of her meals from Sunday night through Tuesday or Friday afternoon will be provided by our wonderful kitchen staff. If your daughter has any special dietary needs or allergies, please write it on the needs assessment and we will have our food service manager contact you with the menu. RATIO Safety is our number one priority, and we strive to meet or exceed all established safety standards for staffing. Below are our minimum adult/girl ratios: • 2 adults to every 6 girls currently in Kindergarten or 1st grade • 2 adults to every 12 girls currently in 2nd or 3rd grade • 2 adults to every 16 girls currently in 4th or 5th grade • 2 adults to every 20 girls currently in 6th - 8th grade • 2 adults to every 24 girls currently in 9th - 12th grade
