Camp Conowingo is located in Cecil County, MD, approximately one-hour

northeast of Baltimore City. The camp is situated on 600 acres of woodlands

and open fields along the Susquehanna River. For more information about this

property or the other properties owned and operated by Girl Scouts of Central

Maryland, visit our website at http://www.gscm.org/camp.html.

Location

Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the

world a better place.

Girl Scout Mission Statement

Camping provides girls a rich experience away from home. While teaching and

enhancing self-reliance and self-confidence, girls gain an appreciation of the

environment and learn to live and work together with people who are different

from them in a friendly, fun and safe setting. Camp is a great place for a girl to

unlock her potential and discover the world and the great outdoor adventures

that await her! This unique environment helps her develop positive self-esteem,

leadership skills and social skills all while having the time of her life. The camping

experience is truly a building block in the development of girls into successful and

resourceful young women.

Camp Philosophy

The American Camp Association (ACA) accredits Girl Scouts of Central

Maryland’s Camp Conowingo. Accreditation means that the camp undergoes

a thorough review process by outside camping professionals every three years.

Camp Conowingo consistently achieves the highest standard in the areas of

personnel, program, site administration, and health care. Camp Conowingo also

adheres to the Maryland Youth Camp regulations.

Accreditation

While the camp is primitive in some aspects, it allows campers to connect with

their natural surroundings. Campers live in yurts, glen shelters, platform tents,

tipis or lodges. Within each unit are sleeping facilities, kitchen shelters, latrines,

cold-water hand washing stations, and a campfire area. Each sleeping unit, other

than when the campers are tent camping, is equipped with a cot and mattress

for sleeping. Most units do not have electricity. The air-conditioned dining hall,

bathhouse and swimming pool areas boast modern facilities.

Facilities

Note: Staff members sleep in separate areas within the unit, but are centrally located within the unit to which they are assigned.


The camp program at Camp Conowingo is based on core activities that develop new skills, embraces the traditions of Girl Scout camp and follows the Girl Scout Leadership Experience--which encourages girls to Discover, Connect, and Take Action. For more information about the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, please visit http://www.gscm.org/programs.html.

The Girl Scout Leadership Experience encourages girls to Discover, Connect, and Take Action. While at camp girls Discover: exploring the world around them and gaining an understanding of themselves and their values. Connect: Girls team with others locally and globally about topics and issues they care about or inspire them. Take Action: Girls act to make the world a better place. Every camp unit is rotated through core activities each day, in addition to the specific unit activities they have signed up for. These core activities, which generally make up four of the seven program sessions that the campers attend each day, include swimming, arts and crafts, ropes course, rock climbing and nature study. The remaining three sessions are spent in their units working toward badge and unit goals that are listed in the program that the camper has signed up for. For example, Pony Tails would make leather crafts or horse-related art in their arts and crafts time. Camp Conowingo Counselors work with the campers to complete requirements for various Girl Scout patch and badge work in most programs. A letter is sent home with campers at the end of each session outlining what badges were worked on or completed during camp. While we do our best to ensure that all activities listed for each camp are accomplished during their week at Conowingo, schedules may need to change or all listed activities may not be able to be completed due to weather or other factors that are beyond our control.

Camp Program

• Has she been away from home overnight for more than one night?

• Is she willing to live in an outdoor setting which includes night sounds, bugs, animals, and using latrines?

• Can she shower and maintain her personal hygiene?

• Can she maintain, pack, and carry her own equipment?

• Is she willing to perform kapers (chores) including: cleaning a latrine and living area, collecting firewood, and assisting with other daily living tasks?

• Can she live and work with people of various diversities such as those of different races, religion, and socio-economic backgrounds?

Is Your Daughter Ready For Resident Camp?

Girl Scout camp is a community-based on everyone respecting themselves, each other and their environment. One way we instill this philosophy is every camper’s participation in daily community chores, called kapers. Kapers include cleaning-up the unit/living area, cleaning and stocking the latrines, setting tables for meals and helping to keep the camp clean. Girls in the horse program will also help with barn and stable chores.

Kapers


Join us as we celebrate Father’s Day, Sunday, June 20, 2010 with an Open House at Camp Conowingo from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Bring the whole family and enjoy the day together with tons of fun and free activities! Challenge each other up the rock wall, ride one of the horses, spend some time sitting next to our picturesque creek or take a tour of the camp guided by our summer staff. When you need to take a break, wander inside to the air conditioning and enjoy some lunch, create some camp crafts. If you’re still looking to cool off, take a dip in the pool. See for yourself what Camp Conowingo has to offer! Please wear closed toe/closed heel, walking shoes or tennis shoes (no sandals or flip flops). Sorry, no pets allowed.

Parent Information Meetings

Ifyouwishtoattend,RSVPtoConnieAdams,[email protected].

A health professional is located at the Health Center, Pax Tu. All medications are kept at the Health Center. All medications (prescription or over the counter) sent to camp must be in the original container and properly marked. Any medication that must be carried at all times by a camper (i.e. inhalers or Epi pens) will be kept by her counselors in the unit first aid kit to ensure safety. All girls are required to have a physical exam within 24 months of the start of the camp session. A current health history, signed by a physician, is required for participation. All immunizations and vaccinations need to be listed on the form. Health forms from previous years of camp are not available as they are permanently stored upon closure of each camp season. If you plan on attending more than one session, it is helpful to the staff to send a photocopy of the form for each new session.

Health And Safety


Resident Camp staff is recruited regionally and from around the world. We carefully select staff from within the United States and abroad, such as England, Australia, Thailand, etc. It is our belief that a diverse staff offers girls of all ages the opportunity to meet people from near and far to learn more about themselves and people who are different from them. Applicants are required to undergo background, fingerprint and drug screenings. The majority of the staff is certified in First Aid and CPR. Specialty program instructors (lifeguards, horse personnel) have extensive knowledge in their areas of expertise. Adult staff to camper ratios adheres to Safety Wise standards and are: 1:6 for Grades 2-3; 1:8 for Grades 4-5; 1:10 for Grades 6-8; and 1:12 for Grades 9-12.

Camp Staff

Well-balanced, kid-friendly meals are served in the main dining hall three times a day. Girls also have the opportunity to plan and prepare their own campfire cookout with their unit at least once during the session. We request that all girls drink at least one full glass of water prior to milk, juice, or other beverages provided at every meal, to ensure continued hydration. Special dietary needs are to be discussed with the Outdoor Program Specialist prior to camp and noted on the Health History form. No food may be sent with the camper! Food is not permitted in the living areas since it attracts unwanted creatures. All food brought or sent to camp will be secured by the camp’s staff.

Meals

At Resident Camp, campers adapt easily to the climate. Campers naturally adapt to living in the summer heat without air conditioning or fans by staying hydrated, resting during the hottest part of the day, swimming in the pool, participating in water games and wearing cool, cotton clothing.

What About The Heat?

The camp staff strives to create a successful and positive camp experience for every girl. Girl Scouts of Central Maryland reserves the right to send any girl home that exhibits unsafe and/or unacceptable behavior or endangers other girls, staff or property. Parents/guardians will be notified and are responsible for picking up the girl immediately from camp. Persons listed as emergency contacts may be notified if parents/guardian cannot be reached. No refund will be given if a camper is sent home due to unacceptable or inappropriate behavior.

Camp Behavior

We encourage families to attend one of the parent information meetings or the Open House to visit the camp prior to your camper’s attendance. Visits and phone calls to campers are strongly discouraged while camp is in session as they can disrupt programming and can cause homesickness. Please refrain from promising your camper that she can be picked up if she doesn’t like camp since this often leads to more severe cases of homesickness. Homesickness is a natural reaction for anyone away from home. Help prepare your camper for strange sounds, meeting new friends, trying new activities and even the possibility of becoming homesick. Your loving support before coming to camp will help your daughter to overcome her fear of the unknown. In extreme cases of homesickness, you will be contacted to make you aware of the situation so a determination of whether your daughter should stay at camp can be discussed. No refund will be given if a camper leaves a session early due to homesickness.

Homesickness


The Trading Post carries items such as shirts, stuffed animals, hats, and various camping items. The Trading Post will be open during the Open House and during each session of camp. You will receive a Trading Post money envelope in your confirmation packet. The envelope should be given to the bus counselor, or for those providing their own transportation, to the counselors at the registration table. On average, girls spend $25 at the Trading Post. Money not spent will be returned on the last day of the camp session.

Conowingo Trading Post

Two girls wishing to attend camp together as buddies must provide that information on their registration forms. Space is provided on the registration form to indicate ONE friend’s name and both buddies must request each other. If you register online, please indicate your buddy preference in the “Special Needs” section of the online form. Cabin/tent mate requests will be honored for one friend only. We cannot guarantee buddy placement, nor can we accommodate large group placement.

Camp Buddies

• For more than one girl in a family attending Resident Camp, the full fee will be charged for the first girl. A $20 discount will apply for each additional girl in the family.

• Girls attending camp for four or more sessions will receive a $100 discount off of the total fee.

Do you have a friend who is not a Girl Scout? Does she love the outdoors or making new friends? Then ask her to come along to camp this summer with you. Imagine all the fun you two could have at Camp Conowingo! You will earn a GSCM Bring a Friend Patch and receive a $10 gift certificate to spend at the Camp Conowingo Trading Post. To qualify for this program, both registration forms must be submitted together.
