Item Description

 

Summer may be over but image how you can make a difference for a girl summer 2016 - YOU can help us to fund our mission and send a girl to summer camp at our very own Camp Conowingo.

Make it a Summer to Remember. Send a Girl to Camp!

 

Girls will experience new adventures as they discover fun, friendship and memories to last a lifetime at Girl Scout summer camp.

Camp Conowingo offers a wide variety of camp options for all girls that include themed specialty activities as well as traditional crafts, songs and campfires.

Girl Scout camps feature unique leadership opportunities where girls build 21st century life skills that help them become leaders of tomorrow. They discover how to be more independent and self-reliant, connect with others, individually and as a team, and ways to take action to protect the planet’s natural resources.

Imagine seeing the elated look on a girl’s face when she rides a horse for the first time, climbs to the top of the rock wall, achieves the perfect spiral tie-dye, or sits giggling with new friends around a campfire. By participating in camp programs, girls discover new ideas and skills. They face challenges and celebrate their successes when they accomplish something they may never have dreamed possible before their camp experiences.

Essential skills are learned at camp!
