Dear Camp Families, Girl Scout camp has been a long-cherished tradition at Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines. Our girls, families, volunteers, and staff look forward to spending time among the trees, on the water, and around the campfire. The summer of 2021 saw the return to our in-person camp programs, with campers coming to enjoy all that Camp Mary Atkinson had to offer. This summer, we are welcoming campers to resident camp at Camp Graham and Camp Mary Atkinson where we can “Laugh S’more, Worry Less!” Our other two beautiful camp properties, Camp Hardee and Camp Mu-Sha-Ni, are open for troop camping reservations during the summer 2022. Whether a camper joins us on the shores of Kerr Lake at Camp Graham or in the wilds of Camp Mary Atkinson, she will have a great time as she challenges herself to try something new, picks up a new skill, and shares her knowledge and curiosity with her supportive camp community. Every day and week at camp looks a little different as the campers work with the staff to plot the course for their time at camp while enjoying favorites such as archery, boating, swimming, and hiking. We hope campers’ worries will drift away as they make new friends and enjoy time in the great outdoors. We won’t forget the s’mores! We hope that you will join us for one of our camp open houses- to meet staff, learn about camp, and explore the properties in March. But don’t forget that camp registration opens for Girl Scouts — North Carolina Coastal Pines members on February 7th! We can’t wait to see you around our campfire this summer as we “Laugh S’more, Worry Less!”

- Yours in Girl Scouting

The Outdoor Program Team

COVID Information The health and safety of our campers and camp staff are always our top priorities. While we will continue to follow and build upon the safety strategies and health guidelines that provided a safe and successful 2021 summer camp season, we will also keep up to date with any additional and/or evolving changes as we continue to monitor current guidelines from the CDC, state, and local health departments and will update our guidelines as needed. For 2022, all campers and staff will be required to be vaccinated and/or show proof of negative COVID test. Additional communication on health and safety protocols will be shared with campers in May.

Girl Scout Camp is for Every Girl! Girl Scout camp is all about trying new things, meeting new friends, and having fun. Whether you’re interested in horses, archery, swimming, canoeing, hiking, or are looking to try all of the above, you can have a great summer at Girl Scout camp!

Camp Standards Camp Graham and Camp Mary Atkinson are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA), a national organization that sets high standards for the health and safety of campers and staff, and the delivery of quality programs. In addition to meeting the established standards for health, safety, program and personnel criteria set by federal, state, and local governments, our camps meet the standards set by Girl Scouts of the USA.

When a girl goes

To Camp • She will build her self-confidence and know that her voice counts; • She will support others and be supported; • She will grow her circle of friends, lead a group, follow others, compromise, and make decisions for herself; • She will create a community that values differences; and

What’s in Store at Camp Every day at camp truly is a new adventure. No two days at camp are ever the same. Each week, campers will experience a variety of activities while exploring the weekly camp theme. While weekly themes are used to differentiate our sessions, all campers enjoy traditional camp activities each week like swimming, canoeing, archery, arts and crafts, and much more! Weekly themes influence decorations, music, skits, crafts, costumes, and all-camp activities. Whatever the adventure holds, girls are sure to have an adventure at Girl Scout camp.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Who can attend Girl Scout camp? A: Camp is open to all girls ages 5-17. Some programs have entering grade requirements or prerequisites which must be met to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all campers. Q: My camper is not a member of Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines but would like to attend camp. Can she attend? Are there additional fees? A: Girl Scout camps are open to all girls. Out of council Girl Scouts will pay an additional $75 on their total camp bill per resident or troop camp session. Non-Girl Scouts will pay an additional $100 per session. Additional fees vary for other summer options, see website for details.

Q: Where will campers sleep? A: Girls are grouped in units. Depending on their camp and program choice, girls may sleep in cabins, treehouses, or platform tents. Each unit has trained counselors housed in separate quarters within the living unit, but close enough to supervise campers. In select sessions at each camp, counselors sleep in the same cabin as girls. Unless noted in session charts, lodging assignments will not be given prior to check in at camp. Q: Can my camper attend camp with a buddy/friend? A: During registration, a buddy’s name can be listed. Buddies must be in the same age group and must register for the same session. We are not able to honor requests for more than one buddy.

Q: Who is the camp staff? A: Camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring. They are selected based on maturity, program experience, and genuine desire to work with girls. Counselors are 18+ years old, except for older Girl Scouts who love completing our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) programs. Q: What type of training does camp staff receive? A: Before camp begins, staff attend an intensive onsite training which includes activity programming, outdoor skills, songs, games, first aid and safety, emergency procedures, team building, program age level characteristics, working through homesickness, and more. Q: My child has specific needs. Can she attend camp? A: Each year, many girls with specific needs can participate in our camp program. Girls must be able to function in a 6:1 girl-to-adult ratio. Specific needs may include a range of physical, medical, developmental, dietary, behavioral, or communicative abilities. It is our hope to be able to serve all girls wishing to attend camp. Providing a safe and positive experience to all campers is of utmost importance to us. We reserve the right to make decisions of participation based on the extent of the girl’s needs and our ability to meet those needs in the camp setting, as well as other factors as deemed appropriate. We are concerned about the health and safety of all campers, and we want to ensure we have appropriate professional and medical services to meet needs. Please contact the camp director at 800-284-4475 to discuss the camp program and nature of your girl’s needs. Q: My camper has specific dietary needs or restrictions. How are menus managed at camp? A: Menus are planned with the general camp population and economy of associated costs in mind. We will make every attempt to provide for special dietary needs within the scope of our regular menus. Please contact the camp director at 800-284-4475 for more information. Q: Can my camper call home during the week? A: Campers are not permitted to make or receive phone calls. We encourage independence and self-reliance during camp. The camp director will contact parents if a camper has a medical problem, is excessively homesick, or has an emergency. Please let your child know before camp that she will not be able to call home and that you are comfortable with this. It is important not to send your child to camp with a cell phone. There is little coverage on our properties, and more importantly, it will send a conflicting message to other campers. We are partners with you in your child’s summer experience, and we hope that you will support us with this camp policy.

Q: Can I visit my camper during a camp session? A: To help maintain program continuity and ensure the safety of campers, visitors are only allowed at camp during open house and arrival/departure hours. Q: What happens if my camper has a difficult time adjusting to camp? A: Camp staff will do everything possible to help girls adjust to camp life. However, resident camp staff reserves the right to send home any camper who consistently exhibits inappropriate behavior or endangers herself or others. A camper’s parent/guardian is responsible for picking her up and fees will not be refunded. Q: What measures are taken to ensure my child’s safety while at camp? A: We are dedicated to providing safe and secure camps. Each camp follows the guidelines set by the American Camp Association as well as those set by Girl Scouts of the USA through Safety Activity Checkpoints. Staff is housed in close proximity to camper cabins and tents, and buildings and grounds are checked nightly. All camp staff and adults spending the night at camp must successfully complete a criminal background check. Q: If our plans change, how do I cancel my child’s session? Can I get a refund? A: Please notify our customer care team as soon as possible if plans change and your camper can no longer attend camp. Once you register for a session, you have made a commitment to that session and are responsible for payment in full. Refunds minus the non-refundable deposit are available under special circumstances. Please see page 23 for our refund and cancellation policy. Q: When is the last day to register for camp? A: Camp registrations will close two weeks prior to the session your camper wishes to attend. Exceptions can be made if space is available. Please contact Customer Care at helpdesk@nccoastalpines.org or 800-284-4475 for assistance if registration has closed. Q: When can I expect to receive confirmation information about Summer Camp? A: Once you have completed your registration for camp, you can log back in your My GS account and have access to the 2022 Summer Camp Confirmation by selecting the camp name on your My Events page. Confirmation packets will also be emailed to all registered campers on May 1, 2022.

Camp Mary Atkinson

Days at Camp Mary Atkinson bring a variety of activities, including boating, archery, swimming, or crafts - just to name a few! Girls rotate through activities with their lodging unit while horse campers head to the barn for their day of riding and activities. Girls may canoe, kayak, or paddleboard on our small lake, depending on age and ability. Girls will find themselves channeling their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) while exploring nature trails, fishing, or playing games. Girls entering grade 4 and up may have a chance to climb the Alpine Tower: the best view on camp! Evening brings flag lowering, dinner, and an evening activity such as a pool party, large-group game, or an allcamp activity based on the weekly theme. During the final evening at camp, girls and staff will enjoy a Girl Scout staple - a campfire. Staff lead everyone in much-loved camp songs and units to perform skits they’ve created and practiced throughout the week. We can’t wait to see what our G.I.R.L.s bring this year! If you can’t quite imagine what it all looks like, come see for yourself! We’d love to have you stop by our free open house on March 13 to check out our facilities and meet some camp staff. 8

Camp Graham is situated on beautiful Kerr Lake with 155 acres of lake front, open areas, and woodlands. Girls will unleash their inner G.I.R.L. as they explore a wide range of camp activities including hiking, field and nature games, archery, swimming, sailing, and more. At camp, girls move through the daily schedule as a unit participating in activities with girls who are in the same cabin, tent, or treehouse. Morning sessions follow breakfast and activities are dependent on the camper’s age but could include taking aim at the archery range, enjoying the waterfront with a swim, or exploring our property by foot, canoe, or kayak. Lunch and rest time follows before girls are off on afternoon outdoor adventures and fun – including a camper favorite, tie-dying! Campers will spend the evenings enjoying all-camp activities and spend the night in platform tents, tree houses, or cabins, based on their session. Want to see camp? Get to know our camp family?

Girl Scouts — North Carolina Coastal Pines understands the value of camp. That’s why we’re dedicated to offering these important programs at affordable rates. Camp fees cover most council direct costs such as food, program supplies, supplementary health and accident insurance, and camp counselor salaries. Indirect costs such as planning and administering the program, registration, and property maintenance are costs subsidized by the council. Did you know that cookies help to make summer camp happen? Proceeds from the Girl Scout Cookie Program help our council provide high-quality summer experiences for all girls regardless of their socioeconomic status. Girl Scouts — North Carolina Coastal Pines spends $800 per girl to give her an amazing week at one of our Girl Scout resident summer camps. Most families are only asked to pay $400 per girl. Even with that low rate, we know that camp can be out of reach for some families. That’s where camperships come in. Camperships Financial assistance in the form of camperships enables all girls to enjoy the Girl Scout camp experience. Camperships are made possible thanks to our many generous donors and are available to currently registered Girl Scouts–North Carolina Coastal Pines members who are unable to pay the total cost of a camp experience. To be considered for a campership a girl must: • be a registered Girl Scout member • have selected and registered for her summer camp session • paid the deposit fee* For more information about camperships or to apply online, please visit www.gsnccp.org/campregistration. *See Sue “Skipper” Csorba Award on next page for additional information. You can also apply by mail; a request form is included on page 24. Applications are due by April 1. Please note: Families may apply for up to $250 in financial assistance per girl member for a resident camp session. The amount for other summer events, such as day camp, will vary. Awards are limited to one session per girl member, not to exceed $250. You can make summer resident camp possible for a girl with a tax deductible donation. Read page 27 for more information. 24

“Thank you so much for this fun time!” That’s a quote from one of our younger campers from last summer. If kids need anything after two years of pandemic life, it’s fun. We asked our older campers to rate their top three favorite things about camp. The choice with the second-most votes was “relaxing and having a good time” (The first? A camp classic – “Making new friends”). It’s clear. We’ve all been stressed for the last two years, and our girls are no exception. Fortunately, camp gives girls a much-needed outlet to release anxiety and have fun. At Girl Scouts — North Carolina Coastal Pines, we want to make sure all girls have the opportunity to Laugh S’more, Worry Less.   Girl Scouts — North Carolina Coastal Pines strives to provide financial assistance to every girl who needs it. Typically, over 250 girls receive financial assistance to make their camp dreams a reality.   There is plenty of research on camp’s benefits for kids, including increased independence, confidence, and leadership, as well as mental health benefits from being outdoors. Girls from every background deserve the opportunities camp provides.   This is where you can help. Generous campership donors like you ensure that camp is possible for any girl who wants to go, no matter what her family has been through. You can make a future camper’s dreams come true by making a campership donation today. Please make a campership donation so all girls can escape stress and say their camp experiences “were REALLY fun”!

I want all girls to Laugh S’more and Worry Less! Every gift will make a difference in helping us award nearly $70,000 in financial assistance this summer. $100
