Amazing adventures await you at summer sleep-away camps!

Camp is a great place for girls to discover the wonders of the outdoors and the adventures that await. From archery and sailing, to rock climbing and caving, you can do it all at Girl Scout camp. Cook over a campfire, make crafts, and go swimming—all in keeping with Girl Scout traditions of learning new skills, singing

songs, earning badges and making awesome new friends. Whether you’re a first time camper or a seasoned pro, you’re sure to have the best summer ever at a Girl Scout camp. Our four Girl Scout sleep-away camps: Camp Coles Trip, Camp May Flather, Camp Potomac Woods and Camp Winona, provide unique environments. The camp setting allows girls to develop a strong sense of self, gain practical life skills, become resourceful problem solvers, and cultivate healthy relationships by living, working and playing together.

All sleep-away camp programs include: campfires, cookouts, swimming daily (except Camp Coles Trip), hiking, nature activities, arts and crafts and archery (2nd grade and up).

Financial AssistanceGirl Scouts Nation’s Capital makes camp available to all girls regardless of their family’s economic situation. To apply for financial assistance, first secure your camper’s space by registering for the program and session, and paying the $50 registration deposit. After registration, further information and a link to the financial assistance application will

be sent in the parent confirmation materials and posted on our website: gscnc.org/camp.

Bus TransportationHop on the bus for a ride to camp that’s fun for girls and easy for parents! For just $50 one way or round trip, parents can save time and gas, while girls enjoy singing songs, chatting and bonding with fellow campers. Parents may also drive their campers to and from sleep-away camp. We have two bus stops: Montgomery County, MD and Fairfax County, VA. After registering your camper, you will receive a detailed Parent Information Book that contains drop-off times and specific locations for each bus stop. When you register online, please select the appropriate Add-On for your transportation preference -- one way or round trip. We must meet a minimum number of bus riders per bus. If minimums are not met, the bus will be canceled.

For GIRLS, by GIRLS: Girl Scout Camp A key benefit of being a Girl Scout is having access to our beautiful camps. In a girl-led, girl-friendly environment, girls challenge themselves and take healthy risks, surrounded by supportive friends and camp staff. When girls spend quality time outdoors and increase their exposure to nature they thrive physically, emotionally and intellectually. And that’s great news—because when Girl Scouts get outside, they:

• Discover that they can better solve problems and overcome challenges.• Develop leadership skills, build social bonds, and are happier overall.• Become team players and care more about protecting our environment.

Girl Scouts believes in getting girls outdoors. Our summer camps allow girls to unplug from their smartphones, laptops, TVs and tablets, and get outside to enjoy nature.

Camp FacilitiesWe have glen shelters at all four camps. A glen shelter is a wooden structure with four screened sides, a wooden roof and a wooden floor. Depending on their size, glen shelters will sleep four to six campers.

Platform tents are located at Camp Coles Trip and Camp May Flather. Platform tents have wooden floors with a large canvas tent secured over a

wooden frame. Most platform tents sleep four to six campers.

Facilities also include a dining hall, kitchen, camp office, health center, arts and crafts build-ing, and central shower house. Potomac Woods, Winona and May Flather have swimming pools, while Coles Trip has river access.

Girls with Special Needs Girl Scout camp is for all girls. If your camper has medical, physical, developmental, social, or other special needs, we encourage you to work with us to find her the most appropriate camp program. If your camper has special needs, please contact Denise Viau, Camping Services Manager, at [email protected] or 202.274.3308, before registering your camper to discuss options and to ensure that your camper finds the camp and program that best suits her needs.

BuddiesDid you know you can bring a buddy to camp, even if she’s not a Girl Scout? For more information on buddies, visit our website.

Have a first-time camper?Check out these helpful tips to make sure she’ll haveher best summer ever!

132

4If your camper has

never spent the night away from home, try it

out before camp. Encourage her to have

a fun sleepover at a friend’s house so she

can practice beingindependent.

Help your camper pack for camp—don’t do it for

her! She’ll know exactly where

everything is and will be able to identify any

items that get misplaced.

For younger campers, pack each day’s outfit in a gallon-sized Ziploc baggie and label each

day.

Let your camper know that missing home is normal! Make a plan for what she will do if

she misses home, such as write a letter, draw a picture, or jump into

activities.

u will receive a full refund.

Maryland Camps

Day and evening camp programs encourage girls to explore the world around them, challenge themselves, and build self-esteem while having a blast at camp. Girls learn songs, play games, make arts and crafts, gain outdoor skills and work towards badges, all while being encouraged to be their amazing selves. Most programs encourage girls to participate in totally awesome outdoor activities like nature hikes, outdoor skills, team building exercises, high adventure, and more. Some programs even offer optional overnights and field trips, too! No matter which camp you choose, you’re sure to have your best summer yet!

We have camps for every interest and age level sprinkled across our region. Each camp is unique, and run exclusively by a dedicated team of specially trained volunteers who work year-round to make these enriching opportunities possible.

Volunteer at Day and Evening CampYou’ll have a lifelong impact on girls, develop your own leadership expertise, gain new skills and tools, and connect with fellow volunteers. There’s no cost to volunteer and most camps guarantee entry for campers of full-time volunteers, where other camps may offer a reduced rate for registration. Roles include …

• Unit Counselor: Guide a group of campers through pre-planned activities with the help of another counselor or a teen mentor.

• Program Volunteer: Teach a skill, or plan and lead a special activity like crafts, gardening, sports, and more.

• Health Supervisor: Medical professionals needed! Provide first aid and manage camper and staff safety.

Each camp handles volunteer registration differently. If you are interested in volunteering at a day or evening camp, please contact the camp directly using the volunteer contact listed under each camp’s description on our website.

Who Can Attend Camp?Most of our day and evening camps are open to girls completing grades K-12. Check the individual camp description for specific grade requirements.

We welcome non-Girl Scouts to attend camp. Any girl who is not a current member is welcome to attend camp, but they must register and become a Girl Scouts Nation’s Capital member. The annual registration fee is $25. You must register 24 hours before selecting a camp through the online events registration site, eBiz. To register as a member, please go to our website www.gscnc.org/join. If you have questions about the registration process, have problems, or need to update information please email [email protected].

Boys are eligible at certain camps and must be children of volunteer staff. Ages vary with each camp. Preschool age children are only eligible at certain camps and must be children of volunteer staff.

High AdventureHigh adventure opportunities vary based on the camp, unit program and the camper’s current grade. High adventure activities can be canceled due to weather or other conditions.

Lottery – How it WorksCampers registering for a lottery camp must pay in full at the time of registration. Paying for, and completing registration, does not guarantee the camper will be placed into the lottery. If the camper is not selected through the lottery, a full refund will be issued only after the camper turns down the wait list. For specific dates and fees for lottery camps, please consult the individual camp’s webpage.
