ABOUT OLDER GIRL ENCAMPMENTThis is your guide for our Older Girl Encampment distributed to all leaders going to camp. Please read everything. As you receive details specific to your troop’s camp schedule, payment amounts, etc. please make sure to review carefully. The software used to do the scheduling and pricing is not foolproof – and neither is the Encampment Coordinator. Let her know of any mistakes you see right away.

Who Can Attend: This encampment is known as the “older girl encampment” for Grades 4 and up. Generally, Daisies and young Brownies attend the Brownie Encampment, usually held after the Older Girl Encampment. Third grade Brownies often want to attend Camp Friendship to get their first taste of what being a Junior is all about. In all cases, adults are necessary and encouraged to attend. We especially need First Aiders and adults with Girl Scout camp certifications.

Regarding scheduling, you must choose the activities for your troop. There will not be an opportunity to pick and choose activities by person – all girls in your troop will be signed up for all the activities you choose. Your troop will be billed by the number of girls going times the activity cost. The exception to this is horseback riding – you can indicate any number of girls who are interested in doing this and will be only billed for that number.

For large troops, if you would like, you may split your troop into two or more groups, as long as each group has at about 8 girls. For this purpose, your two “sub-troops” will be scheduled individually. We’ll add “A” or “B” as an extension to your troop number for identification purposes (e.g., 9999-A and 9999-B). If you decided to split your troop, you m ust turn in two Registration fo r m s, one for each gr o up. This is for activity scheduling purposes o n ly and does not affect lodging or m eals.

Before going to camp, distribute appropriate sections of this document to adults and parents of girls going. Be sure that they understand that these rules are for their safety and the efficient organization of an encampment of this size.

ABOUT CAMP FRIENDSHIPCamp Friendship is a summer camp for children, located in Palmyra, Virginia, about 2 hours southwest of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. During the summer, fees start at $1,000 per child. We are able to go and do a lot of the summer activities for a very reasonable cost. Although in the past Camp Friendship frequently hosted Girl Scouts and similar groups at camp during the off season, now we are probably the only Girl Scout group still going where the camp is providing counselors and activities for us. This is because we have made it easy for Camp Friendship to have us – we do all our own scheduling of activities, pay on time, and keep their camp clean. They are doing us a favor. Please remember this when we go as guests of their camp. We hope to continue to be welcome.

REGISTRATION & ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILSPRE-REGISTRATION – A pre-registration packet must be completed and provided to Encampment Coordinator, Patricia Murer, patriciamurer@hotmail.com, to register your troop. This packet is due no later than February 11, 2014 and should contain: Deposit Check – Make check payable to “Service Unit 52-8” in an amount equal to $25

times the number of people (girls and adults) you think you have going to camp. Troop Registration Form (without attachments)

FINAL FORMS - The following items must be provided NO LATER THAN MARCH 11, 2014.1. Encampment Registration Worksheet2. Camp Friendship Assumption of Risk and Permission to Participate Forms – 1 for EACH

PERSON going to camp – both girls and adults3. Camp Friendship Chaperone/Adult Leader Responsibility Forms – 1 for EACH ADULT

going to camp. 4. For troops doing horseback riding – Friendship Stables liability waiver for each rider.

PAYMENT – The final payment will be due at the April 8, 2014 Service Unit Meeting. You can estimate your total payment from the Encampment Registration worksheet, but the final amount due is subject to activity and lodging availability. The Encampment Treasurer will let you know the amount due prior to April 8, 2014. Note that, due to emergency cancellations, there may be a cost adjustment necessary after camp. Any cost adjustments will be dealt with by the Encampment Treasurer on a troop basis, not on an individual girl basis.

ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION CONSIDERATIONS: It’s a good idea to get your registration and all paperwork completed and turned in as

quickly as you can. Cabin and activity assignments for your troop won’t take place until after the Encampment Coordinator receives your registration. Assignments for lodging and activities are done on a first come, first served basis. Although there are plenty of activities for everyone to be able to have lots of fun, registering early can help to ensure your girls get to do their favorites.

If you are splitting your troop into sub-troops, complete one registration worksheet package, but a separate activity sheet for each sub-troop. Activities are the only thing your troop will be separated into sub-troops for; we assume you want your entire troop to sleep and eat together.

If you don’t have a camp job, you’ll need one to complete registration. See the list on the first page of this document for available jobs.

With regards to your arrival and departure day and time--typically EVERYONE wants to come in and leave at the same time. This makes scheduling your activities very difficult. If possible, please try to be there Friday evening, or, at least, plan to stay through Sunday afternoon.

When ranking your activities, think very carefully about which activities your girls would be most disappointed if they had to miss. Then put those activities first. If you want free time, include it. Keep in mind that you may end up getting free time, anyway, if you don’t ask for enough activities and the ones you ask for get filled. Better to rank all activities you would possibly want to do – even if that means ranking all of them.

CHANGES – Changes, additions, and deletions are allowed up until April 8, 2014. After that, additions will be allowed, if they can be accommodated; but no deletions will be allowed except for in case of emergencies. With any addition, you will need to get the appropriate forms to the appropriate Encampment Leaders. See the first page of this document for names for the Encampment Coordinator, the Forms Manager, the Roster Manager – all will need to know about changes.

DIRECTIONS TO CAMPRecommended Route If Leaving During a Non-Rush Hour Time: Take I-95 South to Fredericksburg. Exit onto Route 3 going west. Proceed through Fredericksburg and continue to traffic light at Route 20. Take a left onto Route 20 going to Orange. Proceed until you get to the end of this road at Orange. Turn left onto Route 15. Continue on Route 15 South through Orange and Gordonsville to Zion Crossroads (watch your speed; c o ps are very active in this area). At the stoplight at Zion Crossroads, continue straight heading south on Route 15 for 7 more miles. Turn right at the Camp Friendship sign and go about 50 yards. Bear left and follow the camp road through gates and Laurel Ridge Golf Course. Continue straight toward office. Finally, bear left rather than going to office on the right. Continue to cabins and activities per map provided. You do not need to stop by the Camp Office unless you have questions or get lost. See attached map for specific cabin locations. (Going this route should take you about 2 hours during non-rush-hour or about 4 hours during rush hour.)

Alternate Route If Leaving During a Rush Hour Time: Take I-66 West to Rte. 29 South at the Gainesville exit. Go south on Rte. 29 to Culpepper. Take the fourth exit off the Culpepper Bypass onto Rte. 15 South (note: this is NOT the 15 South Business exit). Continue on Rte. 15South through Orange and Gordonsville to Zion Crossroads (watch your speed; cops are very acti v e in t h is are a ). At the stoplight at Zion Crossroads, continue straight heading south on Route 15 for 7 miles. Turn right at the Camp Friendship sign and go about 50 yards. Bear left and follow the camp road through gates and Laurel Ridge Golf Course. Continue straight toward office. Finally, bear left rather than going to office on the right. Continue to cabins and activities per map provided. You do not need to stop by the Camp Office unless you have questions or get lost. See attached map for specific cabin locations. (Going this route should take about 2-1/2 hours during non-rush-hour time or about 3-1/2 hours during rush hour.)

ENCAMPMENT FIRST AIDSee Page 1 for the name of the Encampment First Aider and her cabin location. Each troop should have a First Aid kit and all the girl and adult health histories, girls’ emergency consent forms, as well as parental consent forms with them. First Aiders will wear red armbands so that any girl requiring assistance can easily identify them (get yours at check-in, or see Encampment First Aider to pick up your armband).The Troop First Aiders will be responsible for and will keep secure all medicines for scouts in their troop. First Aiders are the ONLY P E OPLE AU T HORIZED to administer medications. No medications may be administered without specific written permission.

A service unit first aid kit is available to supplement your troop supplies. It will be kept with the SU first aider on duty; the cabin locations of the SU first aiders are listed on the first page of this document with the staff listing. We expect to have a radio available in the kitchen at all times to track down the first aider on duty. Also, we will have ice available through the Camp Friendship kitchen.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURESLeaders will have a whistle for emergencies (please bring your own). In case of a fire or weather emergency, 3 short whistle blows will be given. The 3 short whistle blows means to evacuate the camp immediately.

In case of a medical emergency, the camper will be taken to the University of VA Hospital in Charlottesville. The phone # of the hospital is (804) 924-2231. 911 service is available; however, an adult must meet the ambulance at the camp office and direct them to the injured camper.

The phone # in the camp office is 1-800-873-3223 or (804) 589-8950. At night, there is an answering machine, which will give an alternate phone number. The camp number should be used only for emergencies.

CHECK IN / CHECK OUTCheck In: Leaders are responsible for checking in with the Check-In Supervisor upon arrival at camp. She will need to know whether everyone on the roster (see separate Camp Friendship Encampment Roster document) has actually made it to camp or if anyone couldn’t make it. You will also be informed of any last minute changes in activities, cabin assignments, etc.

Check Out: Every troop is responsible for clean-up of their own cabin area prior to leaving camp, which primarily consists of general cleanup, sweeping, and removing any trash from your cabin and surrounding area and taking it to the dumpster (located near the dining hall) --- Leave Camp Friendship better than you found it!

LODGINGLodging will be determined by the order the completed Registration Packets are received. At that point, your troop will receive your choice of available cabins. A list of all troops and their cabin assignments will be distributed to the leaders attending camp. To help with that decision, here is the information about the various cabins. See the Camp Friendship Map for locations of cabins. Note that men from all troops will likely be grouped together in the same cabin village. Portable electric space heaters are permitted in cabins without heat. Camp Friendship will provide heaters if they are requested in advance.

MEALSThe Camp Friendship Dining Hall provides 3 meals per day. These are essentially “all you can eat” and generally include a variety of hot and cold foods and various choices for drinks. There is a salad bar and always fruit. Vegetarians should be able to do just fine. Dessert is provided. Cost is:

$10.00 for breakfast,$12.00 for lunch and$15.00 for dinner.

There is no assigned Encampment Meals Manager to explain where your troop should sit and how to handle getting food (usually “family style”) and how to handle clean-up. Camp Friendship staff will explain this at the first meal. Saturday night dinner is typically the most crowded meal. Usually, Camp Friendship asks us to designate 1-2 people to go get the tray of hot foods to bring back to the table. Another couple of people can go get pitchers of drinks. After eating, leftovers are returned to the kitchen (not for our consumption later) and a procedure is followed for cleaning up. These small jobs are definitely good for your troop camp kaper chart.Please be aware that we do say a non-denominational grace at the beginning of each meal. There will be a troop who has been assigned the job of coming up with a grace to use before meals. See the Camp Friendship Map, at the back of this documentation, for the location of the Dining Hall.

Troops bringing their own food can eat in the outdoor pavilions available around the camp, not in the dining room.

ACTIVITIESAfter you have registered your troop, we will begin signing your troop up for activities. Each troop will be given a Troop Camp Schedule specific to that troop, showing when the troop will be doing the various activities they are signed up for. See below for information about the activities offered at this year’s encampment, including pricing and location. Where it is stated “adults free”, this is to allow adults to participate IF you arrive at your scheduled activity AND there is extra room/equipment available for the adult to participate. Girls come first. Refer to the Camp Friendship Map located at the back of this document to find your activity locations.

GROUP CAMPFIREOn Saturday night, we’ll have a group campfire at the “Council Fire” location shown on the map. An older girl troop will be responsible for bringing the materials necessary for the campfire, building and maintaining the fire, and cleaning up. If troops want to take advantage of the group campfire to make s’mores, that’s fine—but you will need to bring s’mores supplies with you.Songs and skits are usually performed by the campfire. The troop responsible for songs will provide details; but, generally, you may suggest 1-2 songs for all of us to sing together, with your troop leading us in those songs from your seats. Some troops also enjoy putting on skits for the other girls at this time. If you don’t want to do this, that’s fine.

SWAPSWe will be exchanging swaps after the Saturday evening flag ceremony at the flagpole. You may want to bring your swaps to dinner with you so you will be ready. We will have a “free for all” where everyone will just mingle and exchange swaps. Any girls wishing to swap should bring their own supply of swaps (with their name and troop number, if they like). Girls can bring as many as they want – or none at all! It is totally optional. You should plan to bring about 150 swaps this year.

Please review “Swap Etiquette” with your girls prior to camp. This means that no one should ever refuse to swap with someone else just because they “don’t like” the swap being offered. Certainly some swaps will be more creative than others. The only acceptable reason for declining to swap is if you are out of swaps OR already have a swap exactly like the one being offered (if, for example, every girl in a troop made the same swap).

WHAT LEADERS SHOULD BRING1. Troop Encampment Activities Schedule2. Camp Friendship Map3. Car “Limo Service” Sheets for parked cars4. Troop First Aid kit5. Health History & Emergency Consent Forms for each girl and adult attending6. Permission slips & Emergency contact info for each girl attending7. Large trash bags for cabins8. Snacks for your own troop, if you like. All food and drink must be stored inside a cooler

or in a car – nothing should be left where an animal might be able to get it. There is no camp refrigerator available for our use.

9. Alarm clocks and whistles for leaders

Note that girls doing the Trail Ride will need to wear long pants (jeans are okay) and aclosed-toe, heeled shoe. Helmets will be provided by the camp.

Optional Items:o Camerao Song sheets for practicing your campfire song (optional) o Items for any free time activities you may have planned (optional)o Leaders may want to make bottles of liquid soap and paper towels for bathrooms a troop

responsibility and expense, to replace the individual ones listed below (optional)

Note: Camp Friendship requires forms – Chaperone and Assumption of Risk, maybe Friendship Stables Liability Waiver – must be completed and delivered to our Forms Manager (see Page 1) b efore c a mp. All adults must complete both the Chaperone form and the Assumption of Risk. Girls need only complete the Assumption of Risk form. There are electronic versions of the forms available on the SU website. Please make the appropriate numbers of copies and distribute to the girls and adults going to camp. Our Forms Manager will let you know the date when these must be delivered by.

INFORMATION FOR ADULTS ATTENDINGSee the Camp Coordinator’s spreadsheets for cabin assignments and activity schedules. For more information about Camp Friendship, check their web site at www.ca m p f riendship.co m .

Vehicles may be pulled up to the cabin unit for unloading and then should be moved, as appropriate. Camp Friendship is pretty casual about parking – as long as space is available and you’re not blocking any driveway or road, it’s okay. If necessary, however, one car per troop should remain at each camp site as the designated emergency vehicle, and other cars can be parked at the dining hall or other available parking areas. When parking, all cars are to be backed in to the parking area. This is to allow easy and safe exit in the case of evacuation. Also, leave a sign on the dash (readable from outside of the car) identifying the car’s owner. A form is provided at the end of this document for this purpose.

Any men attending will be assigned to their own cabin(s), location as indicated on the Master Spreadsheet. Depending on the cabin assignment, there may or may not be adult women in the same cabin with the girls.

Per Girl Scout policy, consumption of Alcoholic Beverages is NOT allowed at Girl Scout

events and smoking is not allowed in the presence of the girls. If you must smoke, you must provide your own ashtray (an Altoids or similar metal box is recommended). Cigarette butts must never be dropped on the ground.

All adults attending should be prepared to assist the leaders with camp activities, kapers, and supervision of girls, as needed.

It is possible that your cell phone will not work at camp due to the lack of a signal. Some services work; others do not.

Girls are not allowed to bring any food or gum to camp. All food brought by adults should be in coolers or in the car.

First Aiders are the ONLY PEO P LE AU T HORIZED to administer medications. No medications may be administered without specific written permission. First Aiders will wear red armbands so that any girl requiring assistance can easily identify them. Give all medications to the Troop First Aider for safekeeping. (The only exception is that parents can administer medications to their own daughters.)

INFORMATION FOR GIRLS

1. Avoid perfume, hairspray, or makeup; it all attracts some insects.

2. Do not bring jewelry to camp. If you have pierced ears only small post earrings are allowed. Long hair should be put in a ponytail. Hats or bandanas are recommended to be worn at all times outside for both girls and adults.

3. No short shorts, tank tops or sandals. This leaves you unprotected from bugs and splinters.

4. Horseback riders will need to wear long pants (jeans are okay) and a closed-toe, heeled shoe. Helmets will be provided by the camp.

5. Life vests will be provided for canoeing.

6. If you are doing the tie dying activity, you will need to bring items to tie dye (as many as you like). Items must be white and washed without fabric softener or dryer sheets. Adults may tie- dye for free.

7. Please observe quiet time 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.

8. Remember to protect nature -- Take only memories; leave only footprints.

9. Please keep the area clean. Prior to departing on Sunday, the cabins must be cleaned & trash removed to large dumpsters next to Dining Hall. Everything must be placed in its original position. Leave Camp Friendship better than you found it!

10. The Buddy system will be in effect at all times. Do not go anywhere without your buddy.

11. ****Remember you do not need a Drip bag & Dishes unless specified by your leader.****
