Camp S’more Flashlight Feature: First-Time Camper


As they say, every journey begins with the first step, and the same idea rings true at Girl Scout camp. We believe in helping girls progress in their adventures and skills by acknowledging when she masters a skill and always inviting her to challenge herself further.

So, what is the first step for a Girl Scout who is a first-time camper? From first grade to tenth, our 2018 camp lineup offers over a dozen sessions that make the perfect introduction to camp. These sessions are two or three nights long and are filled with the traditional activities like hiking,  swimming, campfires, and crafts. Each session includes additional unique activities to tie into the theme of the session.

We’re shining our Flashlight Feature on the sessions below.
