Join us for an unforgettable two-night primitive camping adventure
planned and led by the Older Girl Advisory Board! This unique outdoor
experience gives Girl Scouts the chance to try BOTH hammock camping
and traditional tent camping in a supportive, adventurous
setting.
New to hammock camping? No worries, we've got you
covered! Here's how it will work:
- Night One: Half will hammock
camp while the other half tent camps
- Night Two: Campers will
switch, so everyone experiences a full night in a
hammock if
they choose
All hammock camping gear will be provided, including
hammocks, bug nets, and tarps. For tent camping, Girl Scouts may bring
their own tent or choose to borrow one of ours.
Throughout the
weekend, girls will dive into survival-style, hands-on activities
designed and coordinated entirely by the Older Girl Advisory Board.
Activities include learning how to build an outdoor shelter,
identifying animal tracks, exploring local plant and animal species,
archery, hiking, outdoor cooking, crafts, a hayride, and even an
outdoor movie night on a projection screen. Participants will also
complete one fun match patch activity during the event.This experience
is all about building confidence, outdoor skills, and teamwork while
having fun and trying something new in the great outdoors.
What's Included:
Two nights of outdoor primitive camping, all
hammock camping gear, access to a tent if Girl Scouts are unable to
bring their own, all planned activities and programs, all meals within
the scheduled event, and an Older Girl Advisory Board designed patch
for the event.
Check-in begins at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Check-out
is at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday.
