Resident Camp 2012 - Leap into Summer at of our Three Camps! Camp Agnes Arnold Camp Casa Mare Camp Misty Meadows

Camp Life

Our resident camp offerings differ from traditional camps in that we have created a tailored experiencegirlscouts canoeing for each girl. You get to decide! Rather than selecting your activities at camp, we allow girls to register for the session that best suits their needs and interests. If this is your first time to camp, or if you're looking for something new, we suggest you check out all three of our camps and take a look at the sessions - you're sure to find a session or two you had no idea existed!

Each session description lists the major activities that your child will participate in. Your child will also visit the pool each class day. Once at camp, girls will get to pick from several traditional and fun camp activities to round out her camp experience.  Depending on the camp, these could include archery, crafts, games, dance, theater, canoeing, hiking, nature exploration, painting and more. Sometimes, we're able to offer other specialized activities like sign language or pottery - based on the talents of our camp staff.

Fridays are reserved as FUN FRIDAY! Special activities take place on Fun Friday - included in the special activities is a chance for girls to try activities they might not have been able to sign up for, or that that they didn't realize they wanted to try until they saw their friends having fun. Unfortunately, sailing at Casa Mare and horseback riding at Misty Meadows are only for those who sign up for a sailing or riding session.
