Send a girl to camp

Send a girl to camp Camp scholarships It is our goal to continue to provide opportunities for girls who want to go to camp. Camp scholarships provide this life-changing experience for girls who may not otherwise be able to participate because of their economic circumstances. Contributions to camp scholarships make it possible for all girls throughout the 45 counties we serve to attend camp and have the same opportunities and experiences regardless of their ability to pay. In addition, camp scholarships help underwrite the cost of camp activities, keeping fees low for all girls.

With your help, we will continue to give Girl Scouts the opportunities they need to become the leaders they want to be today, and the leaders our community needs them to be tomorrow. $1,000 = One week of resident camp for four girls $500 = One week of day camp for five girls $260 = One week of resident camp for one girl $100 = One week of day camp for one girl Donations can be made at girlscoutsindiana.org or complete the form below and mail to: Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, 7201 Girl Scout Lane, Indianapolis, IN 46214

General Information Who may attend Girl Scout camp?

Camp sessions are open to all girls entering grades 1-12 in the fall regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. The grades listed for each session are the grades that your daughters should be going into in the fall.

All girls who are registered Girl Scout members may attend. Girls who are not current Girl Scouts will pay a fee of $30 per summer, which includes the Girl Scouts of the USA membership fee. For girls with a chronic illness or disability, a written statement from her physician is required and must indicate the girl can participate in routine activities without harm to herself.

Placement together will not be possible if more than one name or different names are listed.

May I visit my camper during camp?

Our camps are not open to parents, family, or other visitors during camp sessions so that we may provide a safe and secure environment for all participants. All participants and staff must be registered and all adults must have completed background checks prior to camp in order to attend.

Plan to visit the camps during the open house to see the units, staff and program areas.

Please fill out the girl member registration form online as well as the camp registration form.

Camp registration: Registration opens Wednesday, January 24, at 9 a.m.

What if the weather is bad?

How to register

While at camp, every counselor is in touch with the camp director who has access to a weather radio. We are aware of any storms headed our way and have procedures in place to protect our campers. Some activities may be affected by weather, and in this case refunds are not issued.

Please keep in mind that there is only one phone line that does need to be kept open during inclement weather in case of emergency.

How can I prepare my camper?

It is important for parents to talk with their camper about what to expect at camp this summer. The American Camp Association has great resources for parents available at www.campparents.org.

Can my daughter request to go to camp with a buddy?

Summer camp is about camping with friends, both old and new. Girls may request to stay in the same unit with one girl in the same session.

Please write the buddy’s name in the appropriate space on the application. Requests must be mutual and only one buddy will be honored.

Girls and parents should agree on their camper’s buddy. Mail in the two forms at the same time or we might not be able to place both girls in the same session. Troops are not guaranteed to be placed together, unless you are registering for Troops Love Camp at Na Wa Kwa. Troop members attending the same session are not guaranteed the same unit assignments.

Girls who are not current Girl Scouts will pay a fee of $30 per summer, which includes the Girl Scouts of the USA membership fee.

Camp fees Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is committed to providing high-quality, affordable outdoor programming for girls. Thanks to the support of product sales and other funding to the council, we are able to keep the cost of camp sessions substantially lower than the actual cost.

Listed below are brief descriptions of each type of summer opportunity, along with answers to some frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, or need more information after reading through the camp brochure, please contact Camping Services at 317.924.6827 or mmontgomery@girlscoutsindiana.org.

Day camp Day camp is for all girls entering grades 1-7, and is a day-only experience for you to meet girls, just like you, who are excited and ready for adventure! Explore the outdoors with new friends for several days in the summer. Some camp activities will allow you to explore the great outdoors, and you will get to learn outdoor skills and about nature.

Other experiences will happen indoors, and you will get to learn science or technology skills on a college campus.

There are many experiences availalble, and there is something for everyone! Some day camps offer bus transportation, and some do not. Some are week long experiences, and some are only a few days.

Attend camp as an individual camper, and you will be placed in a unit according to your grade in the fall. Please remember this is not a troop activity and the entire troop will not be placed together in one unit. You can, however, request ONE friend as a camp buddy.

This is your chance to make new friends!

This is a perfect first camping experience if you have never spent a week away from home before, as you will be able to go home in the evenings. Several of the day camps offer an overnight option one night for girls to experience overnight camp with their unit.

At day camp, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try new craft projects, discover the wonders of the outdoors, explore nature, play games, experiment with science, math, and technology, make new friends and make lasting memories. Your unit will get to spend one night laughing, singing and in camp together.

If you take a bus to camp, bus transportation will not be offered Thursday night or Friday morning if you choose not to spend the night. Day camp is a great way to build your courage, confidence, and character!

Day camp • Questions and answers What do I wear to day camp?

Old clothes are best and should include shorts or long pants, T-shirts or tank tops (no halters or midriffs), socks/shoes (closed-toe and no sandals), jacket or sweatshirt, raincoat or poncho if wet conditions are predicted.

Is there anything my camper can't have with her at day camp?

We do not allow any of the following so that girls are safe and they gain the full benefit of the camp experience: •

Electronic devices (including cell phones, tablets, electronic games and music playing devices)

•

Weapons, alcohol or tobacco products

•

Drugs (prescription and over-the-counter drugs must be turned in to the camp health supervisor)

What do I bring to day camp each day?

Bring these items daily to camp in a backpack or similar type of bag. Mark the bag with camper’s name, unit name, and bus stop name or “car rider.”

•

Hat or bandana

•

Swimsuit and towel

•

Closed-toe-shoes

•

An extra pair of closed-toe-shoes (that you don't mind getting wet)

•

If my camper has a game/event, can I pick her up and return her at any time?

We do appreciate all campers remaining at camp for the entire day. It is disruptive to your camper and the other campers in her unit to pick girls up midway through the day and bring girls back.

If it is critical to take your camper out of camp, you will need to contact the camp director prior to or during check-in on the first day. Your camper will not be able to return to camp until 8:30 a.m. the next day. Please provide a note with the day, time, reason, and who will be picking up to the camp director on that day.

What do I bring if I am staying overnight on Thursday?

Some campers will be in tents, and others will be in cabins, depending on the camp and the age of the girl.

Bring these items to camp in a duffle bag or similar type bag on Thursday. Place all items in a trash or water-resistant bag that the camper can carry. Please label all bags with the following information (duct tape and a permanent marker works best):

Campus camps

Family or troop camp

These are either day or overnight experiences at a college or academy campus. Girls will engage in hands-on learning of skills such as coding, fashion design with electronics, or construction. Or girls may choose to explore leadership and get started on their Girl Scout Silver or Gold Awards at Journey University. No matter the camp a girl chooses, she will experience campus life, engage with professors and college students, and get to explore new ideas and challenges.

This is an overnight experience for the entire family, just one parent or favorite adult, or the entire troop.

Specialty staff provide activities such as swimming, archery, crafts, nature, campfires, and other activities as noted in the program description. You can have your meals provided, or you can choose a program where you cook all your meals. Whichever program you choose, girls and their families or troops will get to have planned programming as well as free time to explore camp, work on badges, or hang out and enjoy the outdoors. See page 30 for Camp Na Wa Kwa and page 50 for Gallahue, for more information on Family Camp.

Camp info • Resident camp

Resident camp Are you ready for summer camp?

Get ready for a summer you will never forget. Resident camp is an experience filled with excitement, exploration, laughter, and friendship.

For more information about the many different resident camp experiences we offer, visit girlscoutsindiana.org.

Resident camp is an overnight experience where you will get to stay in a tent, cabin, lodge, or even a college campus for two nights or up to two weeks. Attend with a friend, camp buddy, or by yourself. You will make new friends with lots of girls from across our 45 counties. Troops and/ or groups can sign up as individual campers and will be placed in units according to your desired session.

You and your counselors will plan activities together, taking advantage of the unique opportunities available at each camp.

Summer camp staff are chosen carefully for their ability to work with girls and teach specific skills. All staff undergo a stringent interview and reference check, and must pass a background check. Camp staff also spend a week–or longer–learning the specific skills, safety, and procedures required by Girl Scouts.

If you have not spent the night away from home very often, you may want to try a shorter period of time for your first resident camp experience. If you are very outgoing or adventurous, regardless of your age, you may want to just jump right in with a full-week experience!

Girls must bring their health form to camp on the first day of camp. Do not mail it or fill it out online.

Are you ready for camp?

Take the quiz on pages 14-15 to see if you and your parents are ready for camp.

Resident camp questions and answers What is camp life like?

All campers are expected to participate in all-camp kapers, including making their bed, maintaining their living area, and rotating responsibilities in the dining hall.

Each camper is also responsible for her own personal care and grooming. Campers will sleep either in a unit house with their counselors in a separate room nearby, or in platform tents with the counselors in their own tent in the unit. Campers are given a voice in planning all activities, which could include art projects, swimming, cookouts and campfire activities.

How may I contact my camper? May I visit or call her?

Parents and other family members may visit the camps during their designated open house. We do not accept visitors during resident camp as seeing a parent/ caregiver may spark homesickness in many campers. Also, because telephone calls from home tend to increase the likelihood of homesickness, we ask that you refrain from calling camp. We need to keep our phone lines available for business and emergency purposes. We also ask that you do not allow your daughters to bring a cell phone to camp. Parents are always welcome to call the camp director for an update on their daughter.

What health precautions are taken? Is a physical exam required?

A resident camp health history and exam form will be included in the camper’s confirmation packet. As part of our check-in procedures, all campers must be seen at the infirmary on opening day. We will do a head check and discuss any special needs with each camper.

Campers are required to turn in all medications, both prescribed and over-the-counter, in the original containers, to the health director on opening day. If your daughter is on medication, we will administer her medication as noted on the bottle.

What if my daughter has special needs?

At camp, we make every effort to allow all girls to enjoy our camp sessions. If you have concerns about your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to participate in our camp, please call us before registering her for camp. For girls with a chronic illness or disability, a written statement from her physician is required and must indicate the girl can participate in routine activities without harm to herself. Routine activities include hiking at least two miles each day, living in a tent with steps, showering and changing clothes by herself, and walking up and down hills possibly in the dark with a buddy. If your daughter cannot do these activities without help, we can suggest other camp opportunities that she might enjoy.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer one-on-one helpers for campers.

Please do not be alarmed if the first letter you receive from your daughter reflects her feelings of homesickness. It was probably written at a low time, and by the time you receive it your daughter is having a great time playing with her new friends. Your encouraging attitude both before and during camp will help prevent homesickness. Please remember that campers who overcome homesickness have met a real challenge and can feel a sense of pride in themselves. If a camperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homesickness should persist, the parents/ guardians will be notified by the camp director. More information on homesickness will be mailed with confirmations. Campers do not have access to phones and may not bring cell phones.

How often do campers swim and shower?

Weather permitting, all campers have the opportunity to swim and shower every day of their session with the exception of opening and closing days.

Will my daughter need money at camp?

No, she will not have the opportunity to purchase anything while at camp. She will receive her T-shirt at the end of the session. If, however, your daughter is in a session that will be traveling out of camp, you may send extra money along with her. We ask that your daughter does not bring an excessive amount, as her needs will be taken care of while attending camp. The money you send may be spent on anything she wants.

What if my daughter gets homesick?

Because homesickness is common at camp, especially for first-time campers, our staff members are trained to provide a caring, supportive environment for your child.

Homesickness usually passes in a day or two.

Meet Deb Thomas This is my second year as the camp director at Sycamore Valley and I can’t wait to spend it with you! I literally grew up at a summer camp (my mom was a camp nurse), and I have been camping my entire life. I was a Girl Scout troop leader for 7 years and my two daughters are often at camp with me. I go camping with my son’s troop as well. We are a camping family!

One of my favorite parts of camp is watching girls grow in confidence and independence as they learn, grow, and make friends. Whether it’s your daughter’s first time at camp or she’s a pro, my goal is for her to have a great time learning new skills and having a different experience each week.

See you at camp!

Want to share summer camp with your Girl Scout troop? Join our staff and other troops for a fun filled troop camping experience! You and your troop will will stay for three days and two nights. This is perfect if your troop is new to outdoor experiences, or prefers to experience summer camp together. Participate in many hands-on activities and enjoy crafts, outdoor cooking, swimming and other camp experiences.

Since most of the activities will be run by camp staff, camp experience is not necessary.

Camper fee includes T-shirt and camp patch.

All adults will receive a T-shirt and camp patch.

Full payment is due at time of registration, unless applying for financial assistance.

Leadership Your troop must provide its own leadership through parents, leaders, and other family members. All adults must be registered Girl Scouts. A minimum of two adults must be in camp at all times. At least one must be 21 years of age; others may be 18 or older. Your troop must meet the adult to girl ratio per Safety-Wise.

During your stay, we will provide activities, supplies and meals throughout the day and evening. Your leaders’ responsibility will consist of supervising your troop at various activities, escorting them to the different places in camp, and providing activities during free time. You will also need to provide transportation.

Mini resident camp Experience the fun and independence of sleeping outdoors in cabins, tents or even yurts! At resident camp, the adventures don't stop just because the sun goes down. Fireside s'mores, night hikes and singing under the stars are all part of the fun! Plus, activities like canoeing, archery, rock climbing, and zip lining make memories and friends to last a lifetime.

Special Agent Grades: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Sister Girl Scout spies will solve mysteries at camp during this session. Find out more about fingerprints and forensic science. What clues can you find in the woods? All the fun camp adventures will be there too - canoeing, swimming, cooking over a fire, roasting marshmellows, singing songs, and having a blast!

Night Owls Grades: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Stay up until the sun goes down (and in summer that is later then you think), then sleep in and have a pajama breakfast. While you're out at night, learn about the stars and investigate nocturnal animals. Older girls will plan a night time party for the younger girls. Create glow in the dark crafts and create a night time scavenger hunt. Dissect owl pellets. $100/girls June 25-27 • Check in: 5-6 p.m. | Check out: 5 p.m.

Camp Gallahue

Camp Gallahue Units Camp Gallahue has 7 different units that your daughter might stay in. Each unit has a different theme to it. We try to stay in the unit posted in the camp guide, but sometimes due to weather or if a unit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t full, we will move the girls to a different unit. You will be told at check in if there is a change in the unit. For example if we know it will be a rainy week, we try to not have girls stay in the valley and will put them in a platform tent unit.

Ardath / Village / Art Colony / Reservation These are our platform tent units. Each unit has ten tents a unit house and a latrine. The unit house has electricity and is used for activities at night, rainy weather, and the girls will sleep inside if there is inclement weather at night.

Ardath is our water unit because it sits right on the lake. Village is near the central part of camp and a great unit to move out of Hill Crest. Art Colony is used for older girls and more themed units. Reservation is for our horse units because it is so close to the barns.

Harleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill is our most primitive unit. It has Adirondack style platform units to sleep in. It is a favorite of the girls to stay in!

For our oldest girls who are in special units, we stay in the valley in pup tents. The girls love the independence and outdoor experience of the valley.

Hill Crest Hill Crest is the unit for girls in 2nd thru 5th grades.

It has 3 sleeping wings with electricity indoor toilets, and showers. The counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep in a separate room in each wing.

Weather permitting, all horse units will ride as scheduled.

Laundry facilities are not available. If you are attending two week camp, make sure you pack enough clothes for two weeks.

Girl Scouts of Central Indiana offers a wide range of horseback riding camps aimed to help girls experience the joy and adventure of this exciting sport. Whether a girl dreams of being an Olympian, riding in the rodeo, or simply loves to ride horses every summer, you will be taught in a safe and comfortable learning environment. Our instructors all have previous experience teaching horseback riding, and provide close and constant supervision during all aspects of the riding program.

Emphasis in all camps and levels is on skill development, progression and expanding knowledge of horses and horse care. Take part in the horse care and management by feeding, cleaning and grooming. Within your session, you will be placed in classes based on your skill level.

Classes are kept small with a ratio of at least one instructor to six campers. If you are in a riding program, you will also participate in other camp activities, too.
