Camp Holloway Founded by Josephine Holloway in 1952, Camp Holloway offers overnight and day camp sessions for girls ages 5-17. Camp Holloway features traditional camp activities such as archery, climbing, rappelling, swing by choice, art, hiking, tree climbing and more. In addition, girls can enjoy experiences in theatre, music, TV production, travel programs, robotics and cooking. Our 76-acre property is located 30 minutes north of Nashville and has housing options of cabins and platform tents. Camp Holloway is calling you for an amazing summer.
Camp Sycamore Hills Whether it’s canoeing on Sycamore Creek, horseback riding, aiming for the target on the archery range or creating a unique work of art in the craft barn, Camp Sycamore Hills has this and more. Camp is filled with 742 acres of fun programs including outdoor skills, high adventure and science. Girls will stay in cabins or screened cabins. We can’t wait to see everyone this summer!
Hay, don’t forget the horses! With more than 40 horses and an enthusiastic staff, you can try horseback riding with a sampler program or week long horse program focused on improving your horsemanship skills. Horse sessions include progressive riding instruction, games and barn lessons. Whether you are new to horses or an experienced rider, we have horse programs designed for you! Campers also participate in traditional camp activities during their week.

Accommodations at camp Your camper has a variety of options for housing at Camp Holloway and Camp Sycamore Hills. Please find the description of each option below and check your camper’s session for which housing option is offered.
Cabin A cabin is a climate controlled building with bunk beds or single beds. Girls will sleep in one large room or in several smaller ones with 8-20 other girls. Some cabins include bathrooms and kitchen within the building, and some have bathrooms nearby. Staff members will sleep in the same building (but in a separate room) as the girls.
Screened Cabin Screened cabins are smaller structures, half wood/half screen, located together in a living unit. Each screened cabin has 4-6 beds. Campers may sleep in bunk beds or single beds. These cabins have electricity and fans but are not climate controlled. They do have bathrooms nearby. Staff members will sleep in a separate cabin near the campers’ sleeping area.
Platform Tent A platform tent is a semi-permanent structure with a wooden floor and heavy canvas roof and sides. Each tent holds up to 4 beds. Tents are arranged in groups of 5 to form a living unit. The sides can be rolled up to allow a cross breeze. Mosquito netting is provided during summer camp. A bathhouse with showers and flushing toilets is located close to platform tent units. Staff members will sleep in tents separate from the girls.

Where can I find a packing list? A packing list can be found on the inside back cover of this brochure. Packing lists as well as specialty and travel session information are available on our website at www.gsmidtn.org/summer-camp 4. Will the information packet be mailed to me? All information packets will be e-mailed to you through a link sent to the e-mail you provide during registration. They are also available on our website www.gsmidtn.org/summer-camp.

Child-friendly meals and snacks are provided for campers; we review our menus annually to reflect the feedback we receive from campers and their families. Meals might include: pizza, hamburgers, tacos, chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, etc. If a camper does not like what is being served at any given meal, we do provide alternative options for her (i.e. grilled cheese, cereal, noodles). Campers are always allowed to ask for additional helpings or snacks if they are hungry. A breakfast bar with fruit, cereal, yogurt and other breakfast items is provided at breakfast and a salad bar is provided at lunch and dinner.

7. What if my camper has dietary needs? We make every effort to meet dietary needs which are religiously based, common dietary practices in the home (for example: vegetarian) or those documented by a doctor. Dietary needs, including allergies, MUST be documented on the Summer Camp 2018 Health History Form. Some diets may require you to provide supplemental food for your camper. Please contact your camp director at least two weeks prior to your camper’s arrival to discuss dietary arrangements. 8. What if my camper has medical or other needs? Both Camp Holloway and Camp Sycamore Hills have health officers on staff to attend to campers’ medical needs. If your camper is taking medication at camp, please complete the Summer Camp 2018 Medication Form and bring the medication in the original container with the prescription label on it. Medication brought without an original container will not be accepted. Every effort is made to serve a wide range of campers and to make accommodations for campers’ needs. Please understand that Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee serves the general population and we are not equipped or staffed to provide care for campers who need one-onone assistance. Before you register your camper, please contact the camp director for help determining what will be a good fit for your camper. 9. Do I have to be a Girl Scout to come to Girl Scout camp? Not at all! Campers who are not Girl Scouts will be charged a Non-Girl Scout Fee for each session. Please note, this fee does not include registration as a Girl Scout. 10. Will my camper work on Journeys or Badges while at camp? Several camp sessions are planned around particular Girl Scout awards. If awards or badges are earned at camp, it will be noted in the session description and displayed under each camper’s record in CouncilAlignMENT after the session is completed. 11. Can my child attend with a buddy? Absolutely! Girls planning to attend with a camp buddy must register for the same week and program as their buddy. Please note: summer camp runs on a first-come first-served basis and buddies will sometimes be placed on a waiting list. It is highly recommended to request someone other than siblings as buddies. We will make every effort to honor ONE buddy request.
