The community is invited to attend a free Summer Camp Information Session where they can talk with staff members and experienced volunteers about the benefits of Girl Scout camp, enjoy fun activities and register. Girl Scout Camp is open to all girls ages 5-17 and girls do not have to be enrolled in Girl Scouts to attend summer camp.
Day Camp programs (day only) and Resident Camp programs (sleepaway camp) are available from July 3 to August 11. The camps provide busing from eight bus stops within Rochester and Greece. Activities include, but are not limited to, swimming, canoeing and kayaking, archery, arts and crafts, games, nature activities, hiking, horseback riding, songs, drama, tie dye, bonfires, s’mores, ropes courses, outdoor cooking and more. Financial aid is available with special grant options for girls in Monroe County.
Girl Scout Research Institute studies show that girls tend to speak up less and be more introverted when in the presence of boys. By going to an all-girl camp, girls have the chance to spend time with other girls and are also more likely to test their own limits without worrying about what boys will think.
Girl Scout Camp information sessions include:
•Monday, June 5, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., at St. John the Evangelist, 553 Humboldt Street, Rochester.
•Thursday, June 8, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., at Irondequoit Library: 1290 Titus Avenue, Rochester.
