Northern Lights Day Camp Presents:
What is Day Camp?
Northern Lights Service Unit is continuing its 30 year tradition of hosting a day camp for the girls in our area. Girls will make new friends, feel a sense of independence, try many new things, and have an overnight at day camp. Girls are placed in small units with 10-14 other girls their age. Activities at Day Camp include: arts and crafts, nature exploration, singing, playing games, archery, swimming, cooking outdoors, and earning Girl Scout Badges.
Who can go to Day Camp?
All girls entering grades 1-6 (Fall 2014) are welcome to attend. Girls not currently registered as Girl Scouts will need to do so when they register for Day Camp for an additional $15 which is the registration cost for GSUSA. Day Camp is open to all girls regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, ability, or socio-economic status. Girls entering grades 7– 12 are welcome to come to day camp as Program Aids, Jr Caddies or Caddies.
