Chapter 9: Camping - Taking Leadership<br />
to the Outdoors<br />
Camping is a great way for girls to explore leadership, build skills, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Whether they go<br />
for a day, week, or longer, <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> camp gives girls an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun under the guidance <strong>of</strong> caring,<br />
trained adults. Every girl deserves a chance to camp! Read on for information about some <strong>of</strong> the camp experiences available in<br />
our council.<br />
Resident Camp<br />
Resident Camp o�ers girls who have �nished kindergarten and older the opportunity to camp for two to fourteen days and nights<br />
(the average is �ve nights). <strong>Girl</strong>s sign up as individual campers or go with a buddy. At each <strong>of</strong> our camps girls have the opportunity to<br />
learn valuable life skills while making new friends in a fun, safe, all girl environment. Each camp o�ers a variety <strong>of</strong> living units including<br />
cabins and platform tents. For most sessions, girls can chose their own activities and plan additional activities, with their counselors,<br />
while taking advantage <strong>of</strong> the resources available at the campsite. Resident camping is available at one <strong>of</strong> our council’s �ve resident<br />
camps: Pine Valley, Pine Acres, Timber Ridge, Meriwether and Misty Mountain. <strong>Girl</strong>s who participate in the <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Cookie Program<br />
receive a discounted rate for attending one <strong>of</strong> our council resident camps.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> the camps o�er the traditional camp experiences girls know and love, including archery, canoeing, arts and crafts and outdoor<br />
skills. In addition, several camps o�er the following specialty activities.<br />
