amp & Tri C w 3 1 e i 0 v e r p P 2 Welcome to another exciting year of Girl Scouts. As your daughter plans for next summer make sure to check out the 2013 resident camp and travel preview, where campers can find some past favorites and some new adventures. Camp Azalea Trails, our Council camp, is located at over 6,400 feet in a beautiful canyon with a tranquil stream near Idyllwild, California. While nestled among the tall pine trees, campers can enjoy the natural world around them while hiking, creating crafts, playing games, cooking outdoors, fencing, shooting archery, splashing on the slip & slide, riding horses, creating memories, and building skills that will last them a lifetime including making new friends and learning about different countries from our international staff.

Camp Azalea Trails & the Girl Scout Advantage We know girls have lots of summer choices and they join Girl Scouts “to be with friends” and to “have fun.” This is why we believe Girl Scout camp should be one of your daughter’s choices. Girl Scout camp counselors are caring adults who want to help girls grow while they are having fun with their friends. Girl Scout camp creates opportunities for girls to develop values, talents, skills and abilities to last a lifetime. In this all-girl setting, camp counselors encourage girls to: • Develop social skills • Build independent thinking skills

• Develop and practice leadership skills • Build self-confidence • Develop responsibility • Discover talents and interests • Turn dreams into reality

Girls can help make camp affordable by setting cookie goals, using their Nutty Dough Card to pay the deposit, start recycling from friends and neighbors, apply for partial camperships, or request the gift of camp instead of other gifts. Make sure to register early to ensure your spot, even though you might be waiting for cookie dough.

See you at camp soon, Joyce “Buttons” Knoll Camp Manager
