2022 Cookie Season

Our camps and outdoor programs provide opportunities for Girl Scouts to challenge themselves, build confidence, and develop critical leadership skills. Through outdoor programs and activities, campers develop positive traits and forge lifelong friendships. Activities include horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, archery, snowshoeing, and exploring via our ropes course. Campers also participate in a variety of art projects, games, and classic camp activities such as singing around the campfire and stargazing.

This past year, in addition to the council’s annual outdoor activities, the Girl Scouts Love State Parks program with GSUSA offered girls an additional opportunity to explore. Thank you to our three Utah State Parks partners: Wasatch Mountain, Dead Horse Point, and Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum.

Accreditation

In 2022, Camp Cloud Rim and Trefoil Ranch both received renewed accreditation with the American Camp Association (ACA). Organizations that earn national accreditation are those that meet standards of health, safety, and risk management.

AmeriCorps

We began a partnership with AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) in 2022. Their team spent six weeks at Camp Cloud Rim and Trefoil Ranch working on infrastructure improvements. These projects were instrumental in preparing, preserving, and stewarding the camps before campers arrived. They also participated in a minicamp where they interacted with campers through hiking, painting, and making imprints of plants.

At Trefoil Ranch, the team replaced fencing around the horse arena, stained the lodge and cabins, and set up tents for incoming campers. They also removed invasive weeds around the property.

At Camp Cloud Rim, the team helped with fire mitigation by clearing dead wood. They also stained the lodge, made repairs on tent platforms, and removed snow.
