Girl Scout Leadership ExperienceCamp is full of fun activities—archery, swimming, climbing the Alpine Tower, eating in thedining hall, cooking out, and making friends. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience iscentral to our summer resident camp program. Through activities and experiences, girls willgain skills to become leaders who are inspired to make the world a better place. Activitiesmay include working on Girl Scout Journeys, grade level awards and badges. All camperswill receive a camp patch.

Group and Troop CampSpend time exploring the wilds of Camp Graham or Camp Hardee while participating inswimming, archery, or canoeing. Campers enjoy other fun camp activities unique to the campthat the group decides to attend. Weeklong and mini sessions are designed for a group of girlsand adults to attend resident camp as a unit. Stay for a weeklong session, arriving Sundayafternoon and leaving Friday afternoon. For a mini-session, spend three days at camp havinga great time.

At Group and Troop Camp, girls attend with their troop/group leader and otherapproved adult chaperones. The resident camp provides a “core” staff, including campdirector, lifeguards, health supervisor, arts and crafts director, and dining hall staff. Eachgroup has the opportunity to plan some of their own activities and can also participatein some waterfront activities, sports, crafts, and all-camp sessions led by the camp staff.Meals are prepared in the dining hall. It really is the best of all worlds—a campingexperience away from home, with troop/group buddies, and meeting new girls fromother areas at camp. A troop/group must have at least 4 girl participants to be eligible toregister for group/troop camp.

Q: My camper is not a member of Girl Scouts –North Carolina Coastal Pines but would like toattend camp. Can she attend, and are thereadditional fees?

A: Girl Scout camps are open to all girls. Girls who are notmembers of Girl Scouts of the USA by February 1, 2013,pay an additional fee of $75 per camp session (which isdue with the initial deposit and will also cover her Girl Scout membership fee).

Q: Can my camper attend camp with abuddy/friend?

A: Yes, we would love for girls to attend camp with abuddy. During registration there will be a place for thebuddy’s name to be listed, but a camper may requestonly one buddy.

Q: What are camp staff like? Are they trained?A: Camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring. They

are selected based on their maturity, programexperience, and genuine desire to work with girls. Allcounselors are at least 18 years old. Before camp begins,staff attend an intensive on-site training, which includesactivity programming, outdoor skills, songs, games, firstaid and safety, emergency procedures, team building,program age level characteristics, dealing withhomesickness, and much more.

Q: Are camp staff local?A: Most camp staff are from North Carolina. However, we

work with Camp Counselors USA to recruit diverse stafffrom many different countries around the world. Thesestaff members share their culture with the campersthrough camp activities.

Q: My potential camper has special needs. Canshe come to camp?

A: Each year, many girls with special needs are able toparticipate in our camp program. Girls must be able tofunction in a 6:1 girl-to-adult ratio. Special needs mayinclude physical, medical, developmental, dietary,behavioral, or communicative. It is our hope to be ableto serve all girls wishing to attend resident camp.Providing a safe and positive experience to all campersis of utmost importance to us. The council reserves theright to make decisions of participation based on theextent of the girl’s special needs and our ability to meetthose needs in the camp setting, as well as other factorsas deemed appropriate.

are not permitted to make or receive phone calls. The campdirector will contact parents if the camper has a medicalproblem, is excessively homesick, or has an emergency.Please let your child know before camp that she will not beable to call home and that you are comfortable with this. It isimportant that you do not send your child to camp with a cellphone, as there is little or no coverage—and, mostimportantly, it will send a conflicting message to othercampers. We are partners with you in your child’s summerexperience, and we hope that you will support us in makingcamp happy and fun for everyone.

Q: What happens if my camper has a difficult timeadjusting to camp?

A: Camp staff will do everything possible to help girls adjust tocamp life.
