Piperwood Welcomes Innova Girls Academy
Relax, Reset, Re-engage at The Great Escape
Students from Innova Girls Academy, the first Girl Scout Academy in New York State, visited Camp Piperwood for a special day of Girl Scout fun! A highlight of the day for these kindergarten, first, and second grade students was learning the Girl Scout Promise and Law and receiving their Daisy vests and Brownie sashes.
The Great Escape is an annual volunteer-run weekend at Seven Hills for leaders and volunteers to get together. They learn new skills, trade ideas, find new crafts to bring back to their girls, and in the words of volunteer Bree Kramer, “spend a weekend being renewed in the spirit of Girl Scouting.”
“It was wonderful to have Innova Girls Academy out to Camp Piperwood. The vision for the school came to life when we saw the girls excitement for Girl Scouts and nature!” —Melanie Bloodworth, Senior Director of Girl Experience
Volunteers Theresa Hensel, Sue Wagner, Eileen Klipfel, Janet Kosloski, and Cathy Conner play a round of cards at The Great Escape.
Camp is For Every Girl Camp is about the experience, the laughter, learning new skills, sharing trail mix, and sipping hot chocolate around the campfire. Our goal is to give as many girls as possible the opportunity to attend camp next summer. You can help with your gift to the Campership Fund.
