spend a week with friends, both new and old? Is she ready for an 

outdoor exploration? Then S’more Adventure awaits her at Girl Scout 

camp! She can learn something new; go on an exciting trip; or spend a 

week swimming, singing, and exploring nature. Your camper is sure to 

have a great adventure with Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines 

this summer. 

When your girl goes to camp—whether in the outdoors or on a road 

trip—she will build courage, confidence, and character. Camp is 

designed to give every girl a chance to succeed, build friendships, 

challenge herself, and have fun. 

BY PARTICIPATING IN A 

GIRL SCOUT SUMMER ADVENTURE... 

She will grow in self-confidence and know that her voice counts. 

She will support others and be supported. 

She will increase her circle of friends, lead a group, follow others, 

compromise, and make decisions for herself. 

With other girls, she will create a community that values differences. 

And, she will discover the power and fun of being a girl!

Girl Scout Leadership Experience 

Camp is full of fun activities—archery, swimming, climbing the Alpine Tower, eating in the 

dining hall, cooking out, and making friends. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is 

central to our summer resident camp program. Through activities and experiences, girls will 

gain skills to become leaders who are inspired to make the world a better place. Activities 

may include working on Girl Scout Journeys, grade level awards and badges. All campers 

will receive a camp patch. 

Group and Troop Camp 

Spend time exploring the wilds of Camp Graham or Camp Hardee while participating in 

swimming, archery, or canoeing. Campers enjoy other fun camp activities unique to the camp 

that the group decides to attend. Weeklong and mini sessions are designed for a group of girls 

and adults to attend resident camp as a unit. Stay for a weeklong session, arriving Sunday 

afternoon and leaving Friday afternoon. For a mini-session, spend three days at camp having 

a great time. 

At Group and Troop Camp, girls attend with their troop/group leader and other 

approved adult chaperones. The resident camp provides a “core” staff, including camp 

director, lifeguards, health supervisor, arts and crafts director, and dining hall staff. Each 

group has the opportunity to plan some of their own activities and can also participate 

in some waterfront activities, sports, crafts, and all-camp sessions led by the camp staff. 

Meals are prepared in the dining hall. It really is the best of all worlds—a camping 

experience away from home, with troop/group buddies, and meeting new girls from 

other areas at camp. A troop/group must have at least 4 girl participants to be eligible to 

register for group/troop camp.

Program Aides at some camps. Our day camps are offered at various locations throughout the council and provide an enlightening 

experience for you to explore new things and meet new friends. Check our website or ask your membership director in March 2013 

for information regarding day camp offerings in your area. Register online through C.O.R.E. at www.nccoastalpines.org.

FREQUENTLY ASKED questions 

Q: Who can attend Girl Scout resident camp? 

A: Camp is open to all girls entering grades 2–12 regardless 

of race, religion, ability, national origin, or 

socioeconomic factors. All programs are open to 

Girl Scouts and non-Girl Scouts. Some programs may 

have prerequisites, which must be met to ensure the 

health, safety, and well-being of the camper. 

Q: My camper is not a member of Girl Scouts – 

North Carolina Coastal Pines but would like to 

attend camp. Can she attend, and are there 

additional fees? 

A: Girl Scout camps are open to all girls. Girls who are not 

members of Girl Scouts of the USA by February 1, 2013, 

pay an additional fee of $75 per camp session (which is 

due with the initial deposit and will also cover her 

Girl Scout membership fee). Girls who are members of 

councils other than Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal 

Pines pay an additional fee of $60 per camp session 

(which is due with the initial deposit). 

Q: Where will the campers sleep? 

A: Girls are grouped in units. Depending on their program 

choice, girls may sleep in cabins or platform tents. Each 

unit has trained counselors housed in separate quarters 

within the living unit, but close enough to supervise 

campers. Counselors sleep in the same cabin in select 

sessions at Camp Hardee. These sessions are noted in 

the description. 

Q: Can my camper attend camp with a 

buddy/friend? 

A: Yes, we would love for girls to attend camp with a 

buddy. During registration there will be a place for the 

buddy’s name to be listed, but a camper may request 

only one buddy. Both girls need to be in the same age 

group, and both must register for the same session. 

Sorry, we cannot honor requests for more than one 

buddy. 

Q: What are camp staff like? Are they trained? 

A: Camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring. They 

are selected based on their maturity, program 

experience, and genuine desire to work with girls. All 

counselors are at least 18 years old. Before camp begins, 

staff attend an intensive on-site training, which includes 

activity programming, outdoor skills, songs, games, first 

aid and safety, emergency procedures, team building, 

program age level characteristics, dealing with 

homesickness, and much more. 

Q: Are camp staff local? 

A: Most camp staff are from North Carolina. However, we 

work with Camp Counselors USA to recruit diverse staff 

from many different countries around the world. These 

staff members share their culture with the campers 

through camp activities. 

Q: My potential camper has special needs. Can 

she come to camp? 

A: Each year, many girls with special needs are able to 

participate in our camp program. Girls must be able to 

function in a 6:1 girl-to-adult ratio. Special needs may 

include physical, medical, developmental, dietary, 

behavioral, or communicative. It is our hope to be able 

to serve all girls wishing to attend resident camp. 

Providing a safe and positive experience to all campers 

is of utmost importance to us. The council reserves the 

right to make decisions of participation based on the 

extent of the girl’s special needs and our ability to meet 

those needs in the camp setting, as well as other factors 

as deemed appropriate. We are concerned about the 

health and safety of all campers, and we want to ensure 

we have appropriate professional and medical services 

to meet their needs. With regard to special diets, menus 

for programs are planned with the general camp 

population and economy of associated costs in mind. 

Special diet requests are not generally included in those 

parameters. We will make every attempt to provide for

special dietary needs within the scope of our regular menus. 

Please contact the camp director at 800.284.4475 to discuss 

the camp program and nature of your girl’s needs before 

registering for camp. 

Q: Can my camper call home during the week? 

A: No. We encourage independence and self-reliance. Campers 

are not permitted to make or receive phone calls. The camp 

director will contact parents if the camper has a medical 

problem, is excessively homesick, or has an emergency. 

Please let your child know before camp that she will not be 

able to call home and that you are comfortable with this. It is 

important that you do not send your child to camp with a cell 

phone, as there is little or no coverage—and, most 

importantly, it will send a conflicting message to other 

campers. We are partners with you in your child’s summer 

experience, and we hope that you will support us in making 

camp happy and fun for everyone. 

Q: Can we visit during a camp session? 

A: No. To help maintain program continuity and ensure the 

safety of campers, visitors are only allowed at camp during 

open house and arrival and departure hours. 

Q: What is a typical day at camp? 

A: The day’s schedule will vary based on the camp and program 

but will be similar to the following: 

7:00 a.m. Wake Up 

8:00 a.m. Breakfast/Flag Ceremony/Kapers 

9:30 a.m. Morning Activities 

12:30 p.m. Lunch and Rest Time 

2:30 p.m. Afternoon Activities/Unit Time 

6:00 p.m. Dinner/Flag Ceremony 

7:15 p.m. All Camp Activity 

9:30 p.m. Shower Time & Lights Out 

Q: What happens if my camper has a difficult time 

adjusting to camp? 

A: Camp staff will do everything possible to help girls adjust to 

camp life. However, resident camp staff reserve the right to 

send any girl home who consistently exhibits inappropriate 

behavior or endangers herself or others. The girl’s 

parent/guardian is responsible for picking her up, and fees 

will not be refunded. 

Q: What measures are taken to ensure my child’s 

safety while at camp? 

A: We are dedicated to providing safe and secure camps for our 

campers. Each camp follows the guidelines set by the 

American Camp Association, as well as those set by 

Girl Scouts of the USA through Safety Activity Checkpoints. 

Staff are housed in close proximity to camper cabins and 

tents, and buildings and grounds are checked nightly. All 

camp staff and adults spending the night at camp must 

successfully complete a criminal background check. 

Q: If our plans change, how do I cancel my child’s 

session? Can I get a refund? 

A: If your plans change and your camper can no longer attend 

her camp session, please notify the council’s camp registrar as 

soon as possible. Once you register for a session, you have 

made a commitment to that session and are responsible for 

payment in full. No refunds are available unless you have a 

medical emergency with a written doctor’s statement, or the 

session has a waitlist and we can fill your camper’s space. In 

those cases, a refund minus the non-refundable deposit will 

be considered. Please see page 33 for our refund and 

cancellation policy. 

Q: When is the last day to register for camp? 

A: Camp registrations will be accepted until two weeks prior to 

the session your camper wishes to attend. After May 1, 

registration must include payment in full. For late 

registrations, please note that your camper must have a 

doctor’s signature on her health history form in order to 

attend camp. Campers must have had an exam within 12 

months of the last day of her session.

* Camp Kaleidoscope Returns 

to Camp Graham! 

For the past 34 years, Camp Kaleidoscope has been a 

huge part of Camp Graham. Through Camp Kaleidoscope, 

chronically ill children are given a chance to take a break 

from hospitals and have fun in the outdoors. The boys 

and girls who attend Camp Kaleidoscope have noncommunicable 

chronic diseases such as cancer, asthma, 

kidney disease, or heart disease. Doctors, nurses, and 

other professionals from the Department of Pediatrics at 

Duke University Medical Center spend the week with the 

campers in the Kaleidoscope Program. They participate 

in all aspects of camp. For most of these kids, going to 

Camp Graham is their first camping experience—because 

they cannot go camping without doctors, nurses, 

therapists, and special equipment. Without the 

Kaleidoscope program, many of the children would never 

have a chance to experience the fun of summer camp! 

This year, girls and boys in the Camp Kaleidoscope 

program will be at Camp Graham during the weeks of 

July 7-12, July 14-19, and July 21-26, 2013. 

Group Leaders are provided with sleeping accommodations 

separate from the campers but within the same unit. They 

are close enough for supervision. A group reserving less than 

the entire unit will share the unit with other groups. In this 

situation, all the adults will share one tent or cabin. 

Additional adults must pay the $165/$85 fee (minimum 2 

adults with any size group to follow Safety Activity Check 

Point ratios). Groups must have at least 4 girl participants in 

order to register for group camp. 

Group Camp fills up fast because it is so much fun! 

Registration for Group Camp will open prior to the opening 

date for traditional summer camp. Register online through 

C.O.R.E. beginning January 16, 2013.

registered Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines members who are unable to pay the total cost of a 

camp experience. A girl must be a registered member by February 1, 2013, to be considered for a 

campership. 

Prior to applying for financial assistance, campers must be registered for a camp session and have paid a $75 

non-refundable deposit. 

Camperships are awarded based on need, active participation in the Girl Scout program, and information 

provided on the Financial Assistance for Summer Opportunities Form. The Campership Committee makes 

every effort to use available money fairly to assist as many girls as possible. The deadline for applying for 

financial assistance is April 3, 2013. 

Applications received after April 3, 2013, will be reviewed on an ongoing basis if funding is available. All 

applications are handled in a confidential manner. As these funds are limited, please submit an application 

for assistance as soon as possible after registering for camp. 

To provide assistance to as many girls as possible, camperships will be awarded for only one session of 

camp and do not cover the cost of Camp Extras. The amount of assistance per girl will not exceed $165 for 

traditional weeklong sessions, $250 for specialty sessions, or $125 for group camp. 

To apply for a campership, complete the online Financial Assistance for Summer Opportunities Form on our 

website. 

REFUND AND CANCELLATION POLICY FOR RESIDENT CAMP 

A significant amount of planning time and money are spent several months prior to the start of camp. It is 

also difficult to fill open slots as the summer approaches. Therefore, it is important to contact the Help Desk 

at helpdesk@nccoastalpines.org as soon as possible if the camper is unable to attend camp. 

If the camper has a medical emergency that prevents her from attending camp, a refund request less the 

nonrefundable deposit will be considered if submitted with a written doctor’s statement two weeks prior 

to the camp session. 

If the camper becomes unable to attend camp for other reasons, the council can refund the session fees less 

the deposit only if the camper’s slot is filled from the waitlist. 

If the council cancels the camp session, all fees (including the deposit) will be refunded. 

If the camper is on a waitlist and cannot be placed in a session, the total fee (including the deposit) will be 

refunded. 

Fees for Trading Post gift cards, camp care packages, T-shirts and photos are fully refundable with a twoweek 

notice prior to the camp session.
