Page 3: Camp book (2016)

As I enter my 3rd year directing camp it is always my goal to make each summer better than the last. And with that comes change. My goal is for all campers and staff is to have a positive experience. As a little girl I was dropped off at camp for the first time I was just 8 years old. Little did I know I would leave a changed person and my future would be set. Camp can be a place where you can create memories, make new discoveries, develop lifelong friendships and learn new skills.

Now imagine yourself sitting next to a crackling campfire surrounded by friends, singing songs and roasting a marshmallow after a day of doing all sorts of fun activities, like canoeing, horseback riding and archery. Pretty amazing, right? There is just something about camp that sticks with you for a lifetime. If you have been to camp before, we welcome you back for another summer of great adventures. If this is your first time, get ready to not only imagine camp, but experience it first hand, will you set your future?

This summer we are bringing back to camp Girl Scout traditions, badges, outdoor skills and troop camping. It’s going to be a great summer! Make sure you read all the information so you don’t miss anything!

Remember Girl Scout camp is open to ALL girls, not just current Girl Scouts. We have something for everyone!

Happy Camping! See you this summer!Vanessa “Shoe” Grose’Camp Director/ Outdoor Programming Director

General InformationOur summer camps are open to all girls ENTERING grades 1 - 12, in the Fall of 2016. Girls must register as a Girl Scout for $15 to attend camp. If they are not a Girl Scout, they can simply sign up and pay the $15 membership fee prior to registering for camp. Via registration, Girl Scouts of the USA provides basic accident insurance for all registered Girl Scouts as a supplement to the family’s existing insurance coverage.

Camp Fees and DepositsResident Campers have two options:• Pay in full at time of registration.• Pay the minimum $100 deposit (or more) at the time of registration. The remaining balance must be paid in one final

payment by the registration deadline for your camp session. Deadline dates are two weeks prior to camp start dates.

The Campership Application must be completed and attached to the camp registration and submitted with the $50 deposit by May 2, 2016. Notification will be sent via email within 7-10 business days of receipt.

Documentation of proof must accompany cancellation requests.

Refunds are not issued if a camper leaves before the end of the session due to disciplinary action or homesickness. If a camper leaves early due to physical illness or injury, the camp fees will be prorated, minus the administrative fee, for refund.

Just for Parents and GuardiansHere is some helpful informaiton to prepare you, parents and guardians, for your Girl Scout’s amazing summer outdoor adventure at camp!

Camp StaffOur camp staff members are mature, responsible individuals selected for their special abilities, certifications, professionalism, and experience working with youth camping programs. All of our staff are interviewed and screened. Background checks are conducted on all staff members. All staff participates in an intensive pre-camp training and ongoing trainings throughout the summer on topics such as child and adolescent development, camp skills, Girl Scout programs, healthcare, first aid and CPR training, and safety practices and procedures. Staff are mostly college students or recent college graduates and come from all parts of the country and world. We pride ourselves on giving the campers a look into all types of experiences; a well-rounded staff gives them this learning experience.

Health and SafetyYour camper’s health and safety is our first priority. All camp programs are planned and staffed according to the high standards of Girl Scouts of the USA and the American Camping Association. Healthcare mangers direct the health centers at each camp and are supported by on-call services of a local physician and emergency medical center. If a camper is on medication, the healthcare manager will administer and document it. Staff and girls must turn in all medication (in their original container) to the healthcare manager upon arrival at camp.

Health histories are required for all camp programs. Some programs may require an additional parent permission waiver, which will be provided in the camper confirmation packet prior to camp arrival. So that we can provide the best possible experience for your camper, please note any special needs, disabilities or dietary restrictions on the campers registration form under “special needs” so we may accommodate for appropriate staffing and camper needs.

Parents/Guardians will be contacted by phone if sickness or injury requires a visit to a doctor. Parents/Guardians will also be contacted for any other issue, such as severe homesickness, injury, or illness that prevents your camper from taking part in camp program activities.

Meals, Allergies, Food & Special RequirementsBoth camps provide well-balanced meals that are prepared by experienced kitchen staff and served in the dining facility. Menus are planned based on summer food service program guidelines (the same guidelines used in most school cafeterias). Meals are normally served “family style” and girls will participate in setup before meals and cleanup after meals.

It is very important that we are aware of any special dietary needs, requirements or allergies BEFORE your child arrives at camp. Please list any severe allergies on your registration form. This will not affect your camper’s placement but will help best serve your camper’s specific needs. If your camper requires specialized foods please contact the Camp Director to discuss the best way to accommodate your camper’s dietary needs.

Visitors, Mail & Phone CallsFor safety reasons, access to Girl Scout camp properties is limited when camp is in session. To eliminate concerns over the timeliness of postal deliveries, parents can leave mail at the check-in for delivery during the session. Camp is a wonderful opportunity for girls to experience independent living. Keep your letters quick and fun! Say hello, ask questions, tell a joke and encourage your camper. Phone calls are not allowed at camp as they can be disruptive to programming and can cause homesickness. Cell phones are NOT permitted at camp.

Camp LivingHousing assignments are made based on program, level, and availability. There are a variety of different housing options depending on which camp your camper is attending. Living units range from 4-8 beds depending on the housing.

Camper ConfirmationCamper confirmation will be sent via email. Your final payment confirmation will serve as your “ticket” to camp. You must present this confirmation upon check-in. In this confirmation, you will also receive a link to the additional forms needed for your check in at camp.

Resident camp provides girls with that sense of independence and ability to make new friends outside their regular social group. Girls are able to live in units of similar ages and interest, choosing what activities they want to do. Some sessions might be centered around a certain theme, such as horses or art. Camp becomes the camper’s home for up to 6 days and 5 nights. Meals are provided in our dining hall family style with girls able to talk and meet other counselors and campers.

BarkerResident Camp

Resident camp provides girls with that sense of independence and ability to make new friends outside their regular social group. Girls are able to live in units of similar ages and interest, choosing what activities they want to do. Some sessions might be centered around a certain theme, such as horses or art. Camp becomes their home for up to 6 days and 5 nights. Meals are provided in our dining hall family style with girls able to talk and meet other counselors and campers.

Equestrian Program at BarkerOne of the key elements of Camp Elliott’s Barker’s riding program is progression. Our riding programs are designed to develop equestrian skills in beginning through advanced riders. Progression in riding programs depends upon many factors, the most important of which is the individual girls experience with horses. It is important for campers to follow the prerequisites and progress listed. This will allow each girl to maximize both her enjoyment and learning. This chart is designed to help girls and parents understand how to advance in the riding programs at Camp Elliott Barker. Each of these steps is a pre-requisite to the next, unless a girl has skills or experience from another program and has approval from the riding director at camp.
