Sandy Ridge, owned and operated by Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina, is our resident camp located in Marlboro County, near Bennettsville, SC. The camp is on 500 acres of beautiful sand hills. With a capacity of 72 girls per week, Sandy Ridge is the perfect place to spend some of your summer break. Facilities include a swimming pool, two lakes, watercraft, an archery range, sports field, a clay pit, and an air conditioned dining hall. Three of our living units are air conditioned by window units and our fourth living unit is cooled by ceiling fans. Sandy Ridge is highly accredited by the American Camp Association. Accreditation means Sandy Ridge has undergone a thorough review of more than 250 standards, evaluating everything from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. Sandy Ridge offers camp experiences for all girls’ ages 6 through 17. Camps are listed in the camp guide according to the week a specific program is offered. Please note that camp registration is based on a girl’s age, not their grade level. We recommend finding the week or weeks your girl can attend camp and reading through the available programs with her, and then registering early. Many programs will fill up quickly. Please remember you do not have to be a current Girl Scout to register for camp at Sandy Ridge. There is an additional $30 registration fee for girls who are not current Girl Scouts and it pays for their Girl Scout registration through September 30, 2017. Many of our campers’ only Girl Scout experience is at Sandy Ridge each summer, and they are not involved in a Troop for the remaining months of their membership.

Is Your Camper Ready For Camp?
This is a question many parents struggle with when sending their girl to camp. Some things to consider are:
How long can you manage without your child? What is the longest length of time she has been away from home? How does she deal with being away from home? Do you usually have to go and pick her up early when she is away from home? Does she think she can stay at camp for a week? After considering these questions, talk with your girl and decide if it is the right time for her. If you need more information, a checklist and articles can be found at the American Camp Association website, www.acacamps.org.

on experience, maturity, judgment, and a desire to share enthusiasm and skills with children. All staff members participate in an intensive onsite training program prior to camp and ongoing evaluations throughout the summer. The Camp Director and Assistant Camp Director are highly trained and are specialized in their fields. They have spent all year preparing for the resident camp season. All staff members are dedicated to making resident camp a positive, wonderful, and memorable experience for your camper.
Health and Safety Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina does not require campers attending summer resident camp to have a physical examination. We do require a Health History Form (completed by parent/ guardian) and a current immunization record (or immunization waiver). The Health History Form is included in your camper’s confirmation packet. If your camper does not have a completed Health History Form and immunization record (or immunization waiver) at Check-In, she will not be able to stay at camp until they are turned in. Please bring the Health History Form with you to CheckIn. Do not mail this form to any of the Girl Scout offices or to Sandy Ridge. The staff members who work with your camper are trained in basic first aid and CPR. A health supervisor is on hand to care for campers with more severe illnesses or injuries. There is also a physician on call for the entire camp season. If your camper becomes ill while at camp, you will be notified in order to determine a course of action. All medications are kept in a locked cabinet in the health center and are dispensed by the health supervisor. Accommodations can be made for girls with special needs. Three well balanced meals are served each day in the Dining Hall. The Camp Director will work with parents to accommodate special dietary needs when given advance notice. We ask that specialty food items be provided by the families. These items will be stored in the kitchen. Contact Chuck Iler at customercare@girlscoutsesc.org or 843-479-6814 to discuss any needed accommodations.

Registration for Summer Resident Camp at Sandy Ridge Registration for summer resident camp at Sandy Ridge opens January 30, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. Sandy Ridge will utilize the Active Network for online summer resident camp registration. You will be able to get your camper registered in 3 easy steps! 1. Go to http://tinyurl.com/sandyridgereg 2. Follow the prompts to sign up for an account or login using your account information. 3. Once you have completed your registration order you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Make sure to read the e-mail and open all the attachments. The confirmation e-mail contains important information you need to know and act on. If you do not receive it make sure to check your SPAM/JUNK mailbox.
Things to Remember When Registering Online • Please write down your User Name and Password and keep it in a safe place • If you have a problem, try a different Internet browser • Always click on the “Continue” button at the bottom
of the page • If you have an issue during the registration process please e-mail customercare@girlscoutsesc.org If you do not wish to register online please e-mail customercare@girlscoutsesc.org to request a paper registration form. Online registration does not exist for Troop Adventure Camp. You must register using a paper registration form (located in this camp guide).
Deposits and Payment of Balance As we prepare for your camper to arrive, we incur a variety of expenses. Accordingly, we request a non-refundable $25/$55 (non-Girl Scout) deposit for each session, due upon registration. Deposits are applied to the session cost. If a camper cancels, the deposit is retained. If GSESC must cancel a session, the deposit will be returned. Deposits cannot be transferred to another camper. The balance of the camp fee is due three weeks prior to the session start date. You will receive an e-mail reminding you to pay your camper’s balance. You can pay your camper’s balance in multiple installments using the Active Network online registration system. Non-payment of balance due will result in cancellation of camp placement.
Cancellation and Refunds Should we have a lack of registrations, a session may be canceled. Please note that a session may be cancelled within two weeks of its start date. If your camper’s session is cancelled we will do our best to accommodate your camper in another session. Camp sessions are held regardless of weather. If a camper cancels, refunds, less the $25/$55 deposit, will be made only if written cancellation is received 30 days prior to the beginning of the session. There are no refunds for early departure, whether for personal reasons or a natural disaster.
