Summer Program StaffGirl Scouts take safety seriously. In an effort to assure you of your daughter’s safety and well-being, we want to take a moment to explain how we hire and choose our paid seasonal staff.

Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland hires adult seasonal staff to fill specific job responsibilities (camp directors, waterfront, program activities, unit counselors, etc.) for the delivery of summer program. Only adults age 18 or older may directly supervise participants. All seasonal staff must complete a written application with three character/skill references. All references are checked, a personal interview with the site director is conducted and the applicant undergoes a Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) and Department of Motor Vehicles background check. In addition, supervisors regularly monitor the performance of seasonal staff members.

About Our SitesGirl Scouts of Kansas Heartland program staff ensures that all programs taking place on Girl Scout property or off-site locations follow the Girl Scout safety standards and Safety-Activity Checkpoints. You will find information about Kansas Heartland camp properties before each section.

HowdoIknowifIamreadyforanextendedperiod(fiveto14daysormore)awayfromhome?This is important for both girls and parents to know if you (and your parents) are ready for an extended stay away from home. Girls who have developed these traits are most likely ready for camp:

Independent: She can choose her own clothes, brush her teeth and take care of chores without a lot of supervision.Confident: She handles new situations without becoming overly anxious.Aware: She has already stayed away from her family and knows she can do it.Social: She has been with other girls her own age while apart from her family.Self-reliant: She knows her own mind and is able to make decisions for herself.ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT GOING: She really wants to go and looks forward to being out-of-doors.

Parents,areyouready?Your daughter will be more comfortable in her experience if she knows you are confident in her ability to succeed while she’s away. For many parents, sending a child to camp for the first time is an emotional experience. Before sending your daughter to camp, take time to evaluate whether YOU are ready for her to go.

How to reserve your place for summer program and moreRegistering for summer programs is easy as one, two, three! Be sure to check with your daughter’s leader to find out if her troop is planning to attend any summer programs together as a group. Troop leaders may complete online registration for girls in their troop participating in troop programs requiring adult participation. Parents should register their daughter(s) participating in troop programs as an individual or in individual girl programs. Please read this section completely.

Camp registration begins April 1Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Placement will continue as long as spaces are open.

All girls, kindergarten through 11th grade who are attending camp must be registered Girl Scouts. Girls who are not registered Girl Scouts must register as members by paying the $12 Girl Scouts of the USA annual membership dues at the time they register for camp.

Full payment is due at the time of registration. Complete medical information and parent permissions are due by 5 p.m. of the program reservation deadline. Reservations with incomplete medical information and parent permissions will be deleted and the spot will be filled by someone on the waiting list.

Reservation Options:1. Online at kansasgirlscouts.org. This is the fastest and easiest way to register for camp. Registration starts at 7 a.m. on April 1. Each family and the troop/group will have a registration account. New accounts will be created as members of the troop/group register for Girl Scouts. Passwords will be emailed to the email address on file (parents of individual girls or leader for troop accounts) or can be requested by calling one of the Girl Scout Centers or (888) 472-3683. If a session is full, you will have the option to be placed on a waiting list, or try for another activity or date. Full payment for the reservation is required and can be made by e-check, Visa or MasterCard. If you do not have access to the Internet, here are some options: – Computers are available at some of the Girl Scout Centers during office hours Monday through Friday. – Other locations such as libraries, schools and community centers may have public computers with access to the Internet and our Web site.

2. By Phone – Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Calls will be taken in the order they are received. Before you call, please complete the registration form in this book so you have all the information necessary for the registrar to input your registration. E-check, Visa or MasterCard are required for phone reservations. If a session is full, you will have the option to be placed on a waiting list.

50

3. By Mail Complete a separate registration form for each activity and date your Girl Scout is planning to attend. Additional registration forms are available at Girl Scout Offices or online at kansasgirlscouts.org. If the following items are missing, the registration cannot be processed: – Participant’s information: Girl Scout full name and address. If you complete the e-mail address, we can e-mail the confirmation and camp information letter to you. – Parent’s information and additional contact if parent cannot be reached. – Please list three choices that your Girl Scout is willing and able to attend. All programs will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If the first choice is full, we will try to place in the second or third choice. You will be notified if all choices are full and given the option to choose another session or be placed on a waiting list. Registrations online and by phone will know immediately if a session is full. If your Girl Scout wants to attend more than one session, please complete a form for each session. – Health History Information (on the back of the form). – Parent/Guardian Approval/Permission. – Full payment may be made by check or credit card. Please do not mail cash. Mail registration form along with payment to one of the Girl Scout office locations (listed in the front of this guide).
