Some trainings count toward certifications needed for certain activities. New leaders might choose First Aid/CPR, Outdoor Basics, Grade Level training, Indoor Camping, or enrichment classes filled with troop ideas and practical tips you can bring back to your girls. More experienced leaders may enjoy options such as archery, slingshots, outdoor cooking, and other adventure skills.

NEW, Meet and Greet: Join us Friday evening from 6–7:30 pm for a relaxed Meet & Greet where you can connect with fellow GSK volunteers and staff, learn about upcoming opportunities, and share ideas for supporting girls in our community. This event is open to all volunteers, even those who are unable to stay for the weekend.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Girl Scouts! 💚

Today we celebrate Girl Scouts Day and the incredible legacy of adventure, leadership, and friendship that began in 1912. From campfires and canoeing to crafts and confidence-building, Girl Scouts continue to grow, explore, and make the world a better place—one badge at a time.

At camp, we see the spirit of Girl Scouts every day: girls trying new things, supporting one another, singing around the fire, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Here’s to the traditions we love and the new adventures still to come! 🏕️✨

A special thank you to our very own AIT leader, Robin Mozer, for sharing her amazing artistic talents with us to help celebrate Girl Scouts Day. Your creativity helps bring the magic of camp to life, and we are so grateful for you!

Happy Girl Scouts Day to all our scouts, volunteers, and families! 💚
