Welcome to Girl Scout Summer Camp 2014: Girl Scout summer camp is a special place where girls can connect with a diverse group and feel free to be themselves.

Camp Holloway and Camp Sycamore Hills showcase every girl’s unique qualities and individuality as she participates in group-led activities and enjoys the many opportunities to laugh and have fun while growing into a strong young woman.

In the years to come we will add arts, low challenge, cooking, games & initiatives and more. The girls will choose their skills program and attend a 1 1â &#x201E;2 hour session a minimum of 2 times a week. Then they will join the rest of their group and camp to participate in other camp activities. Also new this year: Sycamore Saturdays, Sycamore Extras and Extended Stays. (See pages 34 & 35)

Horse Programs at Camp Sycamore Hills What makes horse programs at Camp Sycamore Hills unique? The staff, the horses and YOU! Programs are designed to meet the needs of each camper. Whether a first time rider or an experienced equestrian, our goal is to help girls improve horsemanship skills and have fun in the process through progressive riding instruction and barn lessons. Girls can try a new program or come back to a familiar one to experience the variety of horses at Camp Sycamore Hills. Quarter horses, Shetland ponies, Belgians, Tennessee Walkers and more are waiting for you! For safety reasons, some programs require previous experience. Campers will also participate in traditional camp activities during their stay.

Can she cope with new people, places and schedules? Does she enjoy making new friends? Does she like group situations? If your camper is not ready for a five day overnight stay, we invite her to try one of these programs: Me & Mine: This program is a partnership between a trusted female adult and a camper. S’more Fun, Sycamore Saturdays, Kaleidoscope, Jamboree Junior Jam, Scenes of Camp, Family Camp or Sycamore Sisters are sampler programs.
