🏕️ Our Indoor Camping Adventure was a huge success! 🏕️
As we prepare for the real camping experience, our girls spent the day learning important outdoor skills while having lots of fun together.
We started our meeting with the Girl Scout Promise, and every girl eagerly volunteered to stand up and recite it. We were so proud of their confidence and enthusiasm!
Next, we reviewed camp safety rules. Each girl took a turn reading a rule aloud, and together we discussed why each one is important for keeping ourselves and our troop safe during outdoor adventures.
We also spent time talking about nature and learning what things are safe to touch and what things should be left alone while exploring outdoors. To put our nature lessons into practice, the girls made pinecone bird feeders! They gloved up, spread Crisco on pinecones, and rolled them in birdseed to create a special treat for our feathered friends.
After our nature activity, the girls created their own delicious trail mix while talking about future hikes and how trail mix makes a great snack to bring along on the trail.
Then came one of the highlights of the day—learning how to set up not one, but TWO tents! The girls worked together to pitch the tents, take them down, and pack them back into their bags, building teamwork, confidence, and outdoor skills along the way.
After all that activity, we gathered together to sing campfire songs, share lots of laughs, and enjoy time with our Girl Scout sisters. We wrapped up our adventure with a camping favorite—yummy s’mores!
From outdoor safety and nature exploration to camping skills and teamwork, our girls had an amazing day preparing for future adventures. We are so proud of how much they learned and can’t wait to see where the trail takes us next! 💚⛺🔥
