Lab Rats

[Lab·o·ra·to·ry] noun: a place for experimentation, observation or practicing; [lab rat] noun: an inquisitive Girl Scout ready to explore the mysteries of the world around her

Choose your own STEM adventure! Design a car and make something that lights up, get digital by practicing being a citizen scientist, make a field journal and map critters in your area, build earthquake resistant structures, or learn about how oil & water work together. You choose how to imagine and we will bring these interactive workshops to you.

Savvy Solutions [sav·vy] verb: know or understand; [sol·u·tion] noun: means of solving a problem

What better way to explore something unfamiliar than a day of mastering new skills? You may play a game, create a cool craft, make new friends, learn a super savvy skill, or find an untapped interest. This day is designed to help Girl Scouts with the skills and inspiration to accept challenges, overcome obstacles, and take the lead.

Adventure

[Ad·ven·cher] noun: an exciting or very unusual experience; verb: to take the chance of; dare

Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone? Every Adventure event is a different combination of experiences that allows Girl Scouts to progress from newbie to master in the adventure activities available at the venue. Will we aim for a bulls-eye at the target range, blaze through the hiking trails, glide through the water on our kayaks, or test our outdoor survival skills? Whichever combination we choose; it's guaranteed to be exciting!
