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.

Summer camping opportunities with Girl Scouts of Central Indiana
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.
Adventure is out there, what are you waiting for? There are many ways you can join the fun at summer camp. From a Journey camp on a college campus, to high adventure at a resident camp, to laughter and excitement at day camp; there is something for everyone! There are many opportunities for you to also attend camp with a parent or favorite adult, whole family or your entire troop.
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.
If you are a Girl Scout in 1-12 grade (in the fall) you are welcome and encouraged to attend our camps! If you are not a Girl Scout, you are also invited to experience camp, too! 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. This will allow girls to attend summer camp, as well as participate in Girl Scout program activities, such as the ones in this program guide, all year long.
Attend camp as an individual camper, and you will be placed in units 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 a ONE friend as a camp buddy. This is a chance to make new friends!
Please fill out the girl member registration form on page 64 along with the camp registration form on page 49.
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.
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.
At day camp youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try new craft projects, discover the wonders of the outdoors and learn how to live with nature, play games, experiment with science, math, and technology, make new friends, make lasting memories, and for one night, your unit will get to spend an a night laughing, singing and in camp together.

Day camp • Questions and answers What do I wear to day camp?
Is there anything my camper can't have with her at 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 the weatherman predicts wet conditions.
We do not allow any of the following so that girls are safe and they gain the full benefit of the camp experience:
What do I bring to day camp each day? Bring these items daily to camp in a backpack or similar type bag. Mark the bag with the camper’s name, unit name, and bus stop name or “car rider.”
•
Electronic devices (including cell phones, electronic games and MP3 players)
•
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 if I am staying overnight on Thursday?
•
Hat or bandana
•
Swimsuit and towel
•
Closed-toe-shoes
•
An extra pair of closed-toe-shoes (that you don't mind getting wet)
•
A plastic grocery bag for wet clothes and shoes
•
Raincoat or rain poncho (if weather warrants it)
•
Some campers will be in tents, and some 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): •
A water bottle (bottles with a screw on lid are best; no bottles with straws)
Camper name (first and last name), unit name
•
•
Sunscreen and insect repellent (non-aerosol)
Light-weight sleeping bag or bedroll (blankets)
•
•
Lunch for Monday-Wednesday Sycamore Valley Day Camp only

Pajamas or large T-shirt for sleeping in
If my camper has a game/event, can I pick her up and return her at any time?
•
Change of clothing, socks, underwear, etc.
•
Toothpaste, toothbrush, comb/hair brush
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 her up midway through the day and bring her back.
•
Towel, washcloth, soap
•
Flashlight with new batteries
•
Day pack items (carry daily)
•
Extra trash bag (labeled) for return trip home-many bags tear and a replacement is necessary

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 if your troops prefers to experience summer camp together. Your troop will participate in many hands-on activities and enjoy crafts, outdoor cooking, swimming and other camp experiences.
Camper fee...................................................................... $90 Adult fee.............................................................................$35 Camper fee includes T-shirt, camp patch, and one badge. All adults will receive a T-shirt and camp patch. Full payment is due at time of registration, unless applying for financial assistance.

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 programming during free time. You will also need to provide transportation. Since most of the activities will be run by camp staff, camp experience is not necessary.
Campus camps
Family or troop camp
These are either day or overnight experiences at a College or Academy Campus. Girls will be engaged 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 Silver or Gold Awards at Journey University. No matter the program 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 out of doors.

Resident Camp
Resident camp Questions and answers
Ketchup! Ketchup sure is red. Gee I wish I stayed in bed! 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.
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?
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 or by yourself, as you get a “camp buddy," and are encouraged to make friends with lots of new girls from all 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.
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 mom or dad 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 cell phones 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?
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.
All campers attending camp this summer must have a medical history form that has been signed by their doctor or nurse practioner, which means they need to have been seen by a doctor in the last 24 months. 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. If your daughter is on medication, we will administer her medication as noted on the bottle. 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. 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. How often do campers swim and shower?
receive from your daughter reflects her feeling 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.
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 will 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. Please do not be alarmed if the first letter you
