Girl Scout camp is a timeless tradition where new and exciting challenges are

just waiting to be conquered by girls! Whether our campers arrive on Sunday alone or with a buddy, they are guaranteed to leave with a cabin-ful of new friends and memories that will last a lifetime! Our Girl Scout summer camp offers a wide-range of ac-tivities. On day one, our camp-ers choose their own schedules of activities which gives them the freedom to do what they love

while also trying something new. Camp is one of the best places for a girl to gain confidence in her abilities, develop the cour-age to lead others and strength-en her character. So why wait? Registration opens February 10th – what better way to make her summer a summer she’ll remember forever with a trip to Girl Scout summer camp!

Camp Small Valley is located in upper Dauphin County, 30 minutes north of Harrisburg. Nestled on 762 acres of land, there is nothing small about Small Valley! This camp offers big adventures such as, horseback riding, rock climbing, hiking, geocaching, and archery. Girls will push themselves to new heights through our high ropes course and discover teamwork at the low ropes course. Campers will also find a Science Center, planetarium and a swimming pool with a bubble beach! There is something for everyone including pottery, sports, dance, theater, orienteering, sling shots and more!

You’ll Love Our YURTS! We are excited to premier our brand new YURT Village. The village is made up of four YURTs that each sleep 10 girls and offer a truly unique camp experience!

The low ropes course challenges girls through imagina-tive scenarios where they have to communicate, coop-erate and work together as a team to conquer obsta-cles. Arm-in-arm, hand- in-hand, campers will help each other tightrope walk, climb walls, and guide each other through “spider webs” until they ALL reach the end. (Low ropes course is also available at Camp Archbald.)

Harnessing in On the Fun! The High Ropes Course, Climbing Wall, Giant Swing, and Leap of Faith will boost our campers’ confidence and courage as they confront challenges and achieve the unimaginable. Safety comes first, as our trained fa-cilitators make sure all participants are strapped, locked and secured before they tackle their next adventure.

High Ropes: Girls will bravely trek through that high ropes course that runs app. 50 feet off the ground. Campers will go through seven elements and celebrate the completion of the course as they cruise down a 475 foot zip line!

Climbing Wall: Camp Small Valley’s 3-sided climbing wall will dare girls to take something that looks impos-sible and tackle it head on! This climbing wall allows multiple climbers at one time and a vertical play pen.

Giant Swing and the Leap of Faith: The Giant Swing and the Leap of Faith requires that girls work together as a team! In the Giant Swing, girls will pull a tow line to hoist a girl to go swinging (safely!) through the air. The Leap of Faith will challenge our campers to do the unthinkable and leap from a 50 foot platform.

A Whole New Dining Experience!

We are happy to introduce our new Dining Hall! This new facility is more than just a place for the campers to grab some grub! Girls will meet new friends, exchange stories, and share lifelong memories with their fellow campers.

The scenic Lake Ely provides 34 acres of fun for girls who are in-terested in swimming, kayaking, canoeing and row boating.

Nook Tower offers four walls of challenges, which includes climbing, rappelling and a vertical play pen.

Girls will push themselves up to the top of the tower just so they can en-joy the ride down from our zip line.

Our horse barn provides campers with hands on experiences that will teach girls the full responsibility of taking care of horses from feeding, grooming, and prepping. (Barns and horseback riding is also available at Camp Small Valley.)

Nothing is more confidence boosting than hitting the bulls eye! Camp-ers will work with our trained staff to learn and practice their archery skills. (Archery is also available at Camp Small Valley.)

Camp Archbald Snapshot »Camp Archbald is located in Susquehanna County in the woods of the Endless Moun-tains in northeastern Pennsyl-vania. Just like the mountains, the possibilities are endless! It is the second oldest Girl Scout camp in the nation and is rich with almost 100 years of Girl Scout tradition.

At Archbald, girls can fully enjoy nature when they are sur-rounded by the beautiful forests and a spring-fed glacial lake. Adventure awaits with boating, canoeing, swimming, archery, hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, ziplines, low ropes course and so much more.

My child has special needs, how will she be accommo-dated?

Our inclusive environment helps girls of all abilities to live, play and learn in a non-competitive environment. If your child requires a special diet, special health care or has a mental or emotional dis-ability or any other condition, you should contact the Camp Director prior to registering your camper. When discuss-ing your daughter’s specific needs and our camp’s ability to accommodate them, you’ll be better able to determine if our camp can provide the support, supervision and nec-essary accommodations for your camper to have a safe and fulfilling camping experi-ence. Upon arrival, you can further address any issues to our full-time RN. Handicapped accessible living areas are available.

My child is a picky eater, will peanut butter and jelly be available?

We no longer serve any tree nut or peanut products at camp. We will offer bread, jellies and butter as a supple-ment to the hot buffet, fruit and salad bars.

I can’t seem to find informa-tion on the trading post?

This year, we are giving every camper a FREE t-shirt. If she is registered before the ad-vanced rate expires, she will also get a FREE sweatshirt.

Sleeping UnitsLiving arrangements are grouped by ages and assigned approximately one week before campers arrive for their up-coming session. Girls may stay in tents, cabins or lodges. All of our tent units and cabins have cots with mattresses. Girls may only request one buddy. In return, the buddy must also request her as her unit mate or the request will not be honored. Buddies must be in the same grade level and both must be in the same program, - i.e. Traditional or Ranch Camp.

All of units are organized into villages. Each of our villages house a group of girls along with their very own dedicated camp staff.

Restroom and Shower FacilitiesSmall Valley’s restroom facilities are comprised mostly of flushing toilets with latrines at a few of the units. Girls will have the opportunity to shower during scheduled unit times at the pool house.

Archbald offers latrines and shared shower facilities between the units. Most units offer hand washing stations nearby and others provide hand sanitizer. Each unit schedules daily shower times for the girls.

MealsOur meals are prepared by our profes-sional food service and served in our dining hall. All meals provide a variety of food that is both healthy and kid friendly. A fresh salad and fruit bar are always offered during lunch and dinner.

Campers have a unit breakfast, dinner and a unit pack out lunch at least once during the week.

Vegetarian and kosher diets can be ac-commodated. Other dietary restrictions may also be accommodated; however parents may need to supplement ac-ceptable foods for our staff to prepare. Please make sure to include dietary restrictions when you register your camper.

EligibilityWhether a girl has been a Girl Scout in the past or not, she is always welcome at Girl Scout camp! The process is very simple. If she would like to come to camp, and she is not already a regis-tered member of Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania, she will need to include an additional $15 non-refundable Girl Scout membership fee. This additional fee must be included with the deposit and makes her eligible to participate in any Girl Scout activities through Sep-tember 30, 2014.

Camp CommunityWhen a Girl Scout leaves camp, she will leave with a lifetime of memories and a special bond with her camp family! Our staff strives for excellence to ensure that our campers have a positive experience that is life changing! We offer fun and exciting programs in a safe environment that encourages our campers to chal-lenge themselves to go outside their comfort zones.

Our girls will gain independence, deci-sion-making skills and life-long friend-ships. Campers will have the opportunity to meet other girls (campers and camp staff) from our area, from throughout the United States and even around the world. By offering this culturally rich experience along with the week-long ac-tivities and daily electives, your camper is sure to have an unforgettable and well-rounded camp experience.

StaffingAll camp staff participate in a rigorous interview process including thorough background screenings and in-person interviews to ensure they are a perfect fit for our camp. Upon arrival, they begin a two-week staff training process. Each member of our team is certified in first aid, CPR, AED as well as epi-pen. Both returning and new staff members share our campers’ enthusiasm which gives our campers a fun experience that is based on the Girl Scout philosophy, mis-sion, Promise and Law.

What are some examples of Electives?12

Page 13: 2014 Summer Camp Guide

General InformationTraditional Camp lets every camper choose her own itiner-ary for the week. She will be able to pick from a variety of programs with other girls her same age. We offer two types of opportunities, core activities and daily electives. The core activities are typical programs for which she will earn a Girl Scout badge. Core activities can also be a great way for her to try some-thing new and expand her knowledge in a particular area that isn’t necessarily badge driven. Daily electives occur twice a day, once before lunch and dinner. They will choose two electives the night before for the following day.

Trail RidesFor an additional $30 fee, a camper can sign up to participate in one horseback riding lesson per week of camp. We will fit her with a horse that is suited to her level of riding experience. She will ride in our riding ring to get comfortable in the saddle and learn about equine safety and riding techniques. Thereafter, she will head out onto trail riding. Note: Trail riding is weather dependent, if it is raining we try to reschedule the ride; however, if we are unable to ride, girls will still get an opportunity to a real horse experience. No refunds.

Trips (Juniors and up)In addition to choosing their own activities, campers have the option to go on a half or full day out-of-camp trip for FREE! Trips vary by age, space and interest. If there is not enough interest or there is inclement weath-er, trips may be cancelled and girls will continue to fol-low their original schedule. Trips may include canoe-ing, hiking or geocaching at a nearby state park.

How do I know what activi-ties my camper will partici-pate in?

You can discuss what ac-tivities she would like to do when she gets to camp. You will receive a blue form with your confirmation packet that has a question regarding what activities she would like to do. Talk to your daughter about her options before she arrives at camp. Use the pink form that you will re-ceive in the mail to notify us of the badges and patches she has already earned so they are not duplicated.

My camper would like to par-ticipate in horseback riding, is there anything specific she needs to know?

Any camper who participates in a horseback riding activ-ity will be required to wear long pants with smooth soled boots or shoes that have a heel. Riding helmets are required and are supplied by GSHPA. If your camper owns a riding helmet, it must be ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) and SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) certified.

At Ranch Camp, girls entering 6th through 10th grade will spend the week developing a relationship with a horse that is assigned specifically to her. Ranch camp-ers will learn different styles of western horsemanship. This progressive program offers girls an opportunity to excel from a beginners level to the advanced.

We offer four different levels: white, yellow, blue and red. Once a camper passes the red level, she will have the opportunity to become a Wrangler-in-Training (WIT). In order to progress through the levels, the camper must pass a riding and written test to advance to the next level.

Our badge and bandana program is a way to receive recognition. Each girl attending Ranch Camp will earn a horse patch at the end of her first week as well as a col-ored bandana that shows off her riding level. In addition, the camper will earn a rocker for each level she passes.

Throughout the week, girls will still have the opportunity to participate in traditional camp activities. Ranch Camp-ers will have the chance to pick an elective and swim each day.

At the end of the week, girls can showcase their hard-work and abilities at the horse show, where parents/guardians are invited to watch their campers demontrate their newly formed skills. The show will begin around 3:30 p.m. on Friday.

Ranch Camp continued…

What if my camper has been riding and doesn’t want to start at the white level?

If your camper is completely confident in her riding skills and horsemanship knowledge, she may take the white level written test on Sunday. If she suc-cessfully passes the test, she can take the white level riding test on Monday morning. If she receives a passing grade, she can advance to the yellow level immediately.

I heard that the blue level requires mul-itple weeks of participation, is that true?

Each level requires a different amount of time devoted to progress. The further along a ranch camper achieves the more time is required to work on riding styles. For example: a white level rider needs to have 1 successful week to move to the yellow level which also is a week long. The blue and red levels re-quire 2 weeks in the same summer, but not necessarily consecutively. Ranch camp fills up quickly and if a camper is on the blue or red levels, it is strongly suggested to register for both at the same time.

My camper doesn’t have boots, will this be a problem?

Every ranch camper should have a proper pair of boots with a heel. Rain boots will suffice for the white level, moving forward a proper boot will need to be acquired. You can find basic boots at some retailers for as low as $25.

General InformationOur camp counselors are the leaders that guide our girls through camp and have a huge impact on their experience and often their lives! It’s not a surprise to us that our older campers often dream of becoming a camp counselor one day. Our CIT I and CIT II program is a great way to begin that process. The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is for girls entering grades 10-12. The program helps transition campers into future counselors. CITs will have the op-portunity to hone in on their skills by chal-lenging them with new responsibilities and a time for growth.

Pre-camp is required for all CITs and they should plan to attend training from June 8th-12th. Both the CIT I and II programs, require that participating CITs you arrive at camp on Sunday and depart on Friday.

For consideration into the CIT I or II pro-gram, interested 10th – 12th graders must submit their application forms by April 15th. All applicants will receive notification 3 weeks after we receive their applications.

CIT I InformationThe CIT program offers high school girls an opportunity to learn leadership and outdoor skills needed to work with girls in the out-doors. During the CIT program, CITs will explore the areas of camp craft skills, group dynamics, child development, program plan-ning skills, camp operations and the role of a camp counselor. The training program includes regular hours devoted to classes, plus actual experience working with children under the supervision of camp staff. This apprentice program is open on a selective basis to those who have passed the initial requirements and have received positive recommendations.

CITs will actively take part in a camp ap-prenticeship. Girls will be required to attend pre-camp training June 8th- 12th at Small Valley. CIT’s may also choose to do either the 3 week or 6 week resident camp pro-gram, in addition to the pre-camp session. CIT’s will be expected to complete an evalu-ation and develop a program they would like to see offered at camp. In addition to pro-gram development, CIT’s will shadow and

support various camp staff, when needed, to fully understand the roles everyone takes on at camp. For ex-ample, a CIT may find herself at the waterfront one day and the next day at the ranch. CIT’s will also spend time observing camp staff to gain un-derstanding of the Girl Scout organi-zation, management and structure of the camp operation.

To be eligible to apply to the pro-gram, a CIT applicant must be a second year Girl Scout Senior or be in the 10th grade. Interested girls must fill out the registration and ap-

plication forms. All applications must be post-marked by April 15th to be considered.

CIT II InformationIn order to apply for a CIT II, in-terested girls must have success-fully completed the CIT I program in 2011, 2012 or 2013 and have received a letter of recommendation from the camp director to advance to this program.

The CIT II program is 10 weeks including pre-camp. This opportunity will allow girls to bridge easily into

the camp counselor position for the following year.

*CIT II’s do not need to fill out the CIT application, ONLY the registra-tion form.

CIT Program Fees > CIT I Program Fee - $150 for 3 weeks at Camp Small Valley or Camp Archbald > CIT I Program Fee - $200 for 6 weeks at both Camp Small Valley and Camp Archbald
